I will spend 15 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will visit the on-campus "free store", known as the Spider Exchange, to donate unneeded items or "shop" for free from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Spider Exchange is located at 24D New Frat Row.

I will enjoy the sunrise and sunset.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

I will replace 20 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will participate in the composting program on campus or compost my food scraps at home.

I will buy local produce and meats when shopping for groceries.

I will conserve water and energy by only doing full loads of laundry in cold water.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by keeping my showers under 5 minutes.

I will attend a tour of the Eco-Corridor from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. to learn about Abby's Garden and the restored stream bed.

I will attend the Local-Global Sustainability Fair at Tyler Haynes Commons.

I will tell friends and/or colleagues about the Ecochallenge and share information about how to get involved.

I will meet 2 new office, dorm, or apartment neighbors each day.

I will visit the Eco-Corridor for a self-guided tour between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to slow down, destress, and engage in mindfulness stations.
