I will take a walk for 20 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will use public transit 14 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 15.16 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during the EcoChallenge, either because it went bad before I ate it, I put too much on my plate, or it was scraps from food preparation.

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

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

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