Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 minutes learning about which items are recyclable both at my workplace and at home since they may be different, and recycle only those items.

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

I will keep 10 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

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

I will keep 10 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will work from home 4 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

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.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 8oz 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 will spend 15 minutes learning about how indoor air quality impacts health and commit to taking one action to improve indoor air quality in my living space.

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

I will promote a positive environment and uplift others by performing 10 random act(s) of kindness.

I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
