UNCOMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

People

Spend Time Outside

I will replace 20 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside that follows CDC guidelines for preventing disease spread.

COMPLETED 0
DAILY ACTIONS

Food

Reduce and Reuse

I will use reusable containers to store leftovers. Every third night will be leftover night, where leftovers are used in place of new meals. This will reduce waste, require less energy, and reduce garbage.

DAILY ACTIONS

Participant Feed

Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.

To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

As the earth is healing itself, we need to think how we can use this time work towards making this world better. We've been given an opportunity to reset. How can we carry this forward? Rethink trips to the store? Can we work from home more often, saving gas, and reducing pollution? Do we need to buy and discard all the things as we've done in the past?
