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.

I will select a greener option when purchasing supplies, such as products that have environmental certifications, less packaging, or other environmental attributes, or come from local vendors.

Hand washing dishes can use more energy and hot water than running a full dishwasher. To save water, I will scrape instead of rinsing dishes before loading them into the dishwasher, and only run it when it is full.

I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will reflect on how I am feeling and express myself through writing, art, music, physical activity, or another creative way to enhance well-being

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

I will turn my computer monitor(s) off at my work station when not in use to save energy (I will follow my organization's IT instructions for keeping on, turning off, or restarting computers).

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 write down three things every day that I am grateful for every day.

No one person can do everything, but we can all do something. Making one person's worth of difference matters! Share an impact you made related to an Ecochallenge action that you are proud of in the feed.
