I will engage in nature-based activities with my kid(s) for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to watching the buds develop, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will schedule 20 minute(s) of work meetings or phone calls outside each day.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical to get my blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI.

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

Try Pickleball at the WRAC, one-time free as an EcoChallenge participant.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

I will limit my social media use to once per day.

I will visit Sustainable Wenatchee's website and sign up for their newsletter to learn about upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.

I will search the webpage of The Nature Conservancy for 10 species they help protect, 10 natural preserves in Washington they steward and consider one way I could participate in their work in the Moses Coulee Preserves. (Hunter Steward Program, pigmy rabbit habitat repair, trail maintenance, fence repair)
