Bees and other pollinators are vital to ecosystems and agriculture. I will spending 90 minutes learning about local pollinators and why they are so important.

The more we know about the wildlife around us, the better we can protect species. I will download a wildlife monitoring app and log 3 animal or plant species I discover.

Meditation helps build resilience and clarity. I will spend 20 minutes each day to meditate or create a moment of silence each day to reflect on things important to me.

The impacts of our waste are far reaching. I will create zero waste for an entire day and share my reflections and learnings on the feed.

Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.

Regular health check-ups help prevent problems before they start. I will schedule or attend a medical, dental, or mental health check-up to take care of my well-being.

Good sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind. I will prioritize getting 90 minutes of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.

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.
