When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 10 friends, family and/or colleagues.

I will spend at least 60 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.
