Health and Well-Being
Reduce Refined Sugar
Cutting back on refined sugar can improve energy, mood, and overall health. I will limit my intake of sugary snacks and drinks by reducing refined sugar in meals or snacks each day.
Health and Well-Being
Share a Health or Well-being Resource
Sharing knowledge helps others nurture their well-being. Through social media, in the Ecochallenge feed, or in conversations, I will share 10 health or well-being resources with friends, family, or my community to promote a healthier, more resilient world.
Health and Well-Being
Exercise Daily
Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 30 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.
Community and Connection
Support Local Businesses
Supporting local businesses helps keep communities vibrant and resilient. I will choose to shop at 10 local businesses or restaurants, with a focus on businesses owned by people of color, local farmers, or community members.
Land, Water, and Air
Save Water When Washing Dishes
Dishwashers can save water — if used wisely. I will only run the dishwasher when it’s full and skip the pre-rinse to reduce water and energy use. If I don't have a dishwasher, I will turn off the tap as often as possible while washing dishes.

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth and Well-BeingWhat resource did you share, and how do you think it could help others? How does sharing knowledge about well-being strengthen your relationships or community?
Christine Arias 4/30/2025 1:58 AMBy sharing knowledge with the community, you have the power to influence and educate its members. While it might seem like not everyone is engaging with your contributions, even reaching just one person makes a meaningful difference compared to doing nothing at all. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth and Well-BeingBefore you started this challenge, did you think you were 'addicted' to sugar? How do you feel now? What was the most challenging part of reducing refined sugar, and how did you overcome it?
