Bibin's actions
Health and Well-Being
Prioritize Getting Enough Sleep
Good sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind. I will prioritize getting 30 minutes of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.
Health and Well-Being
Reduce Refined Sugar
Cutting back on refined sugar can improve energy, mood, and overall health. I will limit my intake of sugary snacks and drinks by reducing refined sugar in meals or snacks each day.
Health and Well-Being
Go Get a Check Up
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.

Land, Water, and Air
Begin a meeting with a “Sustainability Moment”
Kick off your meetings with a "Sustainability Moment" to keep environmental awareness top of mind. Even better, develop new "Sustainability Moments" tailored to your specific location and work, making the connection between sustainability and your daily activities even stronger!
Land, Water, and Air
Learn about our new Sustainability Pathways initiative
Learn about our new Sustainability Pathways initiative and implement 1 action under each of the pillars from the most appropriate persona.
Health and Well-Being
Enjoy the Outdoors for 30 Minutes
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.
Health and Well-Being
Explore Resources for Managing Anxiety
Anxiety can be overwhelming, but resources and strategies can help. I will spend 30 minutes exploring resources that help manage anxiety and stress to support my mental and psychological well being.
Health and Well-Being
Audit Toxic Products in my Home
Many common products contain harmful chemicals. I will spend 15 minutes researching chemicals found in products I use, and I will make a list of products I'd like to replace with safer options.
Wildlife
Use Reusable Bags
Plastic bags do not always end up in landfills and if they aren't properly disposed of. In nature, they can be mistaken for food by many wild animals and harm wildlife. When I go shopping, I will be sure to bring my own bags to reduce waste and the chance that plastic bags could find their way into wildlife habitats.
Sustainable Innovation
Replace Old Bulbs with LED Bulbs
Energy-efficient lighting is a bright idea. I will replace 3 incandescent light bulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth and Well-BeingWhat surprised you most about the products you use in your home?
Bibin Paul 4/26/2025 10:41 PMI did not expect many products that are marketed as “green” or “natural" have harmful chemicals hidden in the fine print mainly air fresheners and cleaning sprays. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSustainable InnovationHow did replacing old bulbs with LED bulbs make you feel about reducing your energy consumption? What other small energy-saving actions could you take to reduce your environmental impact?
Bibin Paul 4/26/2025 10:37 PMDespite being such a small change, switching to LED bulbs has a significant impact on your electricity bill and energy use. It also gives you a sense of empowerment, as if you're becoming more environmentally conscious without putting in a lot of work.
Below are the similar small actions which can bring a difference to energy consumption..
Turning off lights when leaving a room.
Unplugging devices when they’re not in useWashing clothes in cold water and only running full loads.Air-drying clothes, instead of using a dryer.Switching to low-flow showerheads.-

REFLECTION QUESTIONWildlifeHow difficult was this challenge for you? What made it easy or difficult?
Bibin Paul 4/06/2025 4:38 AMSingle-use plastic bags are conveniently provided by stores at the checkout area. We initially found it quite difficult to make the move to reusable bags because we were not used to it!
However, reusable bags are more environmentally friendly, stronger, and able to hold more goods. This encouraged us to begin utilizing them. We frequently forget to bring them to stores when we first started. But with time, we started keeping pair in the vehicle itself, so that we will not forget it to take to the stores.

Exactly true Bibin...the start is always difficult....either due to the comfort & laziness or just because it come free. One twice thrice...it becomes habit in future....Before all the plastic bags during my early years always used to carry bags from home......mainly jute or cloth bags.. really great we came back to the past with a reason
