Kendal Oetken

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

I will replace 10 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.

Through my social media channels, in person, or as an Earth Month Ecochallenge feed reflection, I will share with others an environmentally friendly habit I have cultivated.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about equitable food access and how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will visit ewg.org to learn about and use their Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen produce lists.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about invasive species and ways to reduce their impacts.
