Within my community at home or work, I will organize or attend a local cleanup event.

Rather than disassembling that box you received something in, check if it can be used by RLS or Sendouts. If not, don't throw away the Styrofoam insert; instead put it into one of the labeled bins on FB.2 or FB.4!

during April, as you walk around your neighborhood, out shopping, or on your commute, keep an eye out for loose plastic caps on the sidewalk. Pick these up and drop them in our collection bin in the lab.

I will try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.

Each day, I will engage in a sharing economy among my family, friends, and neighbors. A sharing economy is when goods and services are shared between individuals though peer and community networks.

Each day, I will track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily breaks during work days to practice work-life balance.
