Rhonda S. Walker

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).

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 40 minute(s) each day.

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

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 spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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 repair an item, such as clothing or an appliance, for myself, a friend, family member, or neighbor.

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 increase my step count by 500 each day and will take breaks from sitting by briefly getting up and moving once per hour during the day.

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 3 locally-sourced meals.

I will promote equity and support my community by purchasing items at 2 diverse- and/or locally-owned businesses.

I will spend 15 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness and/or Meditation.

I will make 4 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)
