Rebecca Zeledon

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily breaks during work days to practice work-life balance.

To reduce CO2 emissions each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

Within my community at home or work, I will organize or attend a local cleanup event.

Studies show a grass lawn is water intensive and on average it require about 30 percent of a household’s water consumption. I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard or community to conserve water and improve habitat: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will plant pollinator-friendly plants in my area to support local pollinators.

I will try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.

Each day, I will track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.

I will cook 3 meals with zero waste each day.

I will volunteer 9 hours in my community.

I will replace 60 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.
