Healthy soil, healthy planet. I will spend 5 minutes learning about regenerative agriculture and how it helps restore ecosystems, improve soil health, and combat climate change.

Adding fruits and vegetables to our meals nourishes our body and the planet. I will prepare and enjoy 3 servings of a variety of colorful fruits and veggies.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 75 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

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.

Learn about sustainability by taking two Green Pill modules on Emerson Learn. Choose the topics that appeal to you most!

Indigenous communities have stewarded ecosystems for generations through deep-rooted knowledge and connection to nature. I will spend 5 minutes exploring Indigenous conservation methods and reflecting on their role in fostering balance and equity with nature.

Being a responsible tourist means not disturbing wildlife and choosing eco-friendly tour operators and destinations that prioritize wildlife conservation and respect animal welfare. I will spend 5 minutes researching ways to travel responsibly to ensure my adventures support, rather than harm, wildlife and their habitats.

Access to clean water is a basic right, yet not everyone has it. I will spend 5 minutes learning about water justice issues and who is affected.

Leave No Trace means enjoying nature responsibly by minimizing our impact and leaving the environment as we found it, or better. I will spend 5 minutes learning about the seven core principles to minimize my impact while enjoying the outdoors.
