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

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

I will use public transit 10 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 4.09 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

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

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

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

I will spend at least 7 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by attending a training, workshop, or presentation.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

I will spend at least 7 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

I will donate to supply a community with reproductive health supplies.

I will spend at least 8 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will spend at least 10 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will spend at least 12 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will replace 12 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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 plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

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 volunteer 20 hours with a wetland restoration project in my region.
