I will take a walk for 5 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

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

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 watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will source 75 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 spend 5 minutes each day researching women-owned businesses I can support when shopping.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

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

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will contact a local installer/distributor to see if a solar water heater makes sense for my house.

I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

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

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

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