I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

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

I will source 5 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of Micro Wind.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by attending a training, workshop, or presentation.

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact bike routes and express my support for better biking infrastructure.

I will set up a visit to tour a green roof in my city, and ask about the codes and process for installing a green roof.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact neighborhood walkability and express my support for better walking infrastructure.

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.
