I will set up a recycling center at my workplace or school.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will connect with a local nonprofit working on womens' or girls' issues in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will sign up for a Master Recycler/Composter program in my area.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by attending a training, workshop, or presentation.

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.

I will donate to supply a community with reproductive health supplies.

I will spend at least 90 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water per day by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during the EcoChallenge, either because it went bad before I ate it, I put too much on my plate, or it was scraps from food preparation.
