Marla's actions
Land, Water, and Air
Take Shorter Showers
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!
Health and Well-Being
Enjoy Fruits and Veggies
Adding fruits and vegetables to our meals nourishes our body and the planet. I will prepare and enjoy 2 servings of a variety of colorful fruits and veggies.
Health and Well-Being
Exercise Daily
Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 25 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.
Land, Water, and Air
Save Water When Washing Dishes
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.
Health and Well-Being
Declutter and Donate
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.

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth and Well-BeingHow did decluttering and donating items make you feel, both emotionally and physically?
Marla Ongradi 4/17/2025 11:47 AMI donated some clothing that I had not worn in over 5 years to one of the local clothing bins. It felt good helping someone else out while at the same time decluttering my space. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLand, Water, and AirHow did changing your dishwashing habits make you more mindful of water use? What other small changes can you make to conserve water in your household?
Marla Ongradi 4/16/2025 5:17 AMWe did not use the pre-rinse when using the dishwasher. This is something I never would have thought about cutting out until this eco challenge. Other changes we can make - not keeping the water running when brushing our teeth and not keep the water running when washing plates manually in the sink. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth and Well-BeingHow did exercising each day impact your physical or mental well-being? What activity did you enjoy most, and why?
Marla Ongradi 4/16/2025 5:14 AMI took a 30 minute walk this morning before logging into work. I did not put my airpods in this time and just enjoyed the quite. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth and Well-BeingHow does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet? What fruits or vegetables did you try this week, and which was your favorite?
Marla Ongradi 4/16/2025 5:13 AMI had an avocado and frozen blueberries in a fruit smoothy this morning and peppers with ranch dip last night. Eating more fruits/veggies and less meat helps the planet by lowering greenhouse gas emissions, conserving resources like land and water and reducing deforestation and pollution.
