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.

Grow My Own Fruit and Veggies

Every day, I will water, weed, and maintain my garden to grow nutritious vegetables. I chose to create this goal as a reminder to use my land resourcefully by feeding my family healthy and nutritious foods.

Learn to Choose Forest-Friendly Foods

Our food choices can help protect forests and wildlife. I will spend 60 minutes learning how to choose foods that are grown in ways that protect forests, such as avoiding products linked to deforestation and seeking certified sustainable options like shade-grown coffee or palm oil-free products.

Enjoy the Outdoors for 30 Minutes

Studies have shown that when we spend consistent time in nature, our health improves, our creativity increases, and our connection to the planet gets stronger. Each day of the Ecochallenge, I will spend 30 minutes outside, then share my observations, reflections, and learnings on the feed.

Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.

    The timing of the challenge is working perfectly with the timing of cleaning up my wild strawberries! The strawberries were here when we moved in, and 3 years later I am loving the project of weeding and organizing them into paths for delicious natural fruit and jams and jellies!

    I purchased two new bird feeders and loaded them with seeds. I sat outside with my dog and eldest and we watched cardinals eat, drink, and sing to other birds.
    The natural music was refreshing, and we felt recharged breathing in the air and observing the birds interacting.

    I have been taking my dog on a walk in his harness and leash after work. Walking up and down the hills was great for our legs - saying hello to my neighbors and asking about their chickens, cows, and gardens was great for our mental well-being!
    When it was raining, we dashed to each neighbor's porch to chat until the rain lightened up a little.

    I love the timing of the Eco Challenge as it matches my timing for planting vegetables and tending to flowers and fruit. I'm currently trimming up blackberry bushes so they're a bit easier for picking in the fall.
