Ecochallenge is great to think more about personal choices, but sometimes it's fun to get together with others for new ideas.

Tell others what you like about the Ecochallenge, what you've learned, and more.

Plastic bags can be mistaken for food by many wild animals and can end up in habitats that harm wildlife. I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

When we explore natural spaces around us, our connections with them change. I will spend 30 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood, office, or campus (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

Food in the landfill is one of the main sources of greenhouse gasses. I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food.

At times it may not feel like it's up to us to keep our community clean and healthy, but we all have a role to play. Each day I am outside, I will pick up any litter I see.

I will organize or participate in a trash pickup at a local river, beach, or natural body of water.
