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 replace 15 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities, and limit my social media use to once per day.

I will learn one new fact about my community each day (history, geography, local wildlife, resources, programs, current issues, goals, etc.)

I will increase my step count by 100 each day and will take breaks from sitting by briefly getting up and moving once per hour during the day.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 15 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 16oz of water each day. I will do this by drinking additional servings of water or by drinking water in place of other less healthy beverage options.

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.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will commit to getting 15 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

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 spend 5 minute(s) learning about constructive communication.
