Consider sustainability and wellness efforts while on the clock. Think about how you can make a positive impact and what might prevent success. Discuss with a coworker and problem-solve.

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.

Decluttering can reduce stress and benefit others. I will declutter my home and donate items I no longer need to support others in my community.

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!

Adding fruits and vegetables to our meals nourishes our body and the planet. I will prepare and enjoy 1 servings of a variety of colorful fruits and veggies.

Idling cars wastes fuel, contributes to climate change, and pollutes the air in our communities. I will turn off my engine when waiting in my car to reduce air pollution and carbon emissions.

As a team, we can accomplish so much more, so let's grow our ATG team of Ecochallengers!
