I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will increase my step count by 1000 each day and will take breaks from sitting by briefly getting up and moving once per hour during the day.

I pledge to take one action that improves the sustainability of my organization in 2025. It can be an action from this challenge or another action that improves resource stewardship.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 5 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.

I will commit to getting 45 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will promote a positive environment and uplift others by performing 1 random act(s) of kindness.

I will read the Ecochallenge feed each day and comment on posts by people who I don't know, but whose content inspires or interests me.
