Elisa Arleen Ramos

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 save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will volunteer 24 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
