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 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 20 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.

I will mend a piece of clothing for myself, family or friends.

I will learn about local, national and international climate action organizations that I could join and connect with one or more.

Throughout the day, I will note the single-use plastics I use and consider the reusable options available to me.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about where my energy comes from.
