"I am going to treat the earth like I do my home; keep it clean and keep it tidy :)"
I will keep 8 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.
I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.
I will replace 60 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.
I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.
I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
I will avoid sending 10 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.
I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 4 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
I will sign up for a car-sharing service or organize car sharing with my neighbors or classmates to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.
I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
