Andres's actions
Health and Well-Being
Exercise Daily
Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 15 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.
Land, Water, and Air
Take Shorter Showers
Conserving water helps protect this precious resource. I will shorten my showers to 5 minutes to save water and reduce energy use - each time saving up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water!
Land, Water, and Air
Reduce Food Waste
Wasting food also wastes water, energy, and resources. I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during the Ecochallenge, either because it went bad before I ate it, I put too much on my plate, or it was scraps from food preparation, and commit to reducing my food waste throughout the challenge.
Empowering the Next Generation
Learn About Indigenous Conservation Practices
Indigenous communities have stewarded ecosystems for generations through deep-rooted knowledge and connection to nature. I will spend 15 minutes exploring Indigenous conservation methods and reflecting on their role in fostering balance and equity with nature.
Community and Connection
Check In with a Friend or Colleague
Staying connected strengthens relationships and boosts well-being. Each day, I will reach out to 2 friends or colleagues to check in, have a meaningful conversation, or offer support.

Andres Ferreyra 4/03/2025 6:47 PMTook a shorter shower today: timed it and tried to optimize the whole process. Clocked in at 9:40. Definitely have room for improvement… -
REFLECTION QUESTIONEmpowering the Next GenerationWhat lessons did you learn from Indigenous conservation practices, and how can these inspire the next generation to create a more sustainable and equitable future?
Andres Ferreyra 4/01/2025 9:50 PMI started reading Braiding Sweetgrass. It was very interesting to contrast the native story of Skywoman with the Christian story of Eve, and contrast the relationship between humans and the land that they each model. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLand, Water, and AirAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money? What patterns did you notice in the food you threw away, and how can you address them?
Andres Ferreyra 4/01/2025 9:20 PMWe often throw away veggies that end up spoiling in the fridge, out of sight and out of mind. We need a mechanism to find them and bring them front and center; maybe a twice-weekly fridge audit. I’ll set this in motion. -
Andres Ferreyra 4/01/2025 9:07 PMI like multi-day challenges like this one; they get us in the habit of reflecting, and of having to make time to reflect, on important things. Hopefully concrete action can follow.-
