I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me each day to raise my awareness of how much waste I produce.

I will mend a piece of clothing for myself, family or friends.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about my watershed and the particular water issues my region faces.

Through my social media channels, in person, or as an Earth Month Ecochallenge feed reflection, I will share with others an environmentally friendly habit I have cultivated.

Of nearly 44 million U.S. renter households in 2019, more than 45% paid rent equal to 30% or more of their gross household income. I will spend 10 minutes learning about a renters bill of rights and affordable housing.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero waste each day.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about where my energy comes from.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about the climate and natural disaster risks in my area.

I will develop a readiness plan for my household in the event of an emergency.

Throughout the day, I will note the single-use plastics I use and consider the reusable options available to me.

I will spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.
