I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) per day.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate and divert waste from the landfill.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable beverage containers to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or water bottle.

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.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about equity and inclusion resources on campus and in Richmond.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will keep lights, electronics and appliances turned off when not using them.

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

I will offer to help person(s) who are in need each day.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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