I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will set up a visit to tour a green roof in my city, and ask about the codes and process for installing a green roof.

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 spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

Through social media, I will raise awareness about gender inequity in education by sharing the information found in the links below.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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.

I will write or call 2 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.
