I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will plant 2 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

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

I will test drive an electric bike at a local distributor to see if it makes sense to use one in place of my car, or to extend the area I can cover by bike.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out if anyone is working on perennial biomass projects in my region and how I can get involved.

I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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