I will set up a recycling center at my workplace or school.

After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

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

I will spend at least 5 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 4 friends, family and/or colleagues.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

I will spend at least 5 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.

I will research and tell 1 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

I will commute by carpool 41 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 16.56 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will enjoy 5 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will take a walk for 1 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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