Small acts of kindness and gratitude can brighten someone's day and create a positive ripple effect. I will express gratitude to 10 people or perform 1 random acts of kindness to spread joy and connection.

Local events such as farmers' markets, festivals, or community meetings like town halls are great ways to feel part of a community. I will attend 4 community events to connect with others and learn more about my area.

Access to clean water is a basic right, yet not everyone has it. I will spend 90 minutes learning about water justice issues and who is affected.

Working together to clean up public spaces helps the environment and builds community. I will participate in 2 community cleanup efforts in my neighborhood or local area.

Reducing energy use helps protect the air and climate. I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy and reduce pollution.

Bringing people together helps strengthen bonds. I will organize and host a gathering, such as a potluck, coffee meet up, or shared meal, for friends, family, colleagues, or neighbors to foster connection and community spirit.

The world is full of unique species that all play an important role in nature. I will spend 5 minutes learning what the native plants and wildlife are in my region.

Innovation thrives when we share ideas. I will share 5 sustainable innovation discoveries on social media or in the Ecochallenge feed to inspire others to explore creative solutions.

Energy-efficient lighting is a bright idea. I will replace 4 incandescent light bulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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.

Innovation can create a more sustainable world. I will spend 180 minutes learning about new materials, technologies, ideas, or practices that help solve environmental challenges and improve our planet's future.
