Karianne Canfield

I will sign up for a Master Recycler/Composter program in my area.

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

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

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

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

I will enjoy 3 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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

I will donate to The Nature Conservancy, which works with Indigenous Peoples to secure land tenure and resource rights, support improved governance and local institutions, assist in natural resource mapping, planning and management; and strengthen livelihoods and sustainable economic development.

I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

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

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 spend at least 10 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will use public transit 20 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 27.39 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
