I will take regular study breaks to de-stress.

I will not purchase anything but food during the challenge.

I will carefully fill my plate in the dining hall and take only what I can eat. I'll also inquire about ways to improve composting and use of recyclable foodware.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting on social media using the #EcoChallenge hashtag.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will not use any disposable plates, cups, or cutlery.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will only purchase bulk food items and avoid all single-package items.

I will replace 15 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities.
