I will spend at least 45 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by attending a training, workshop, or presentation.

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

If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

I will raise funds to help make school affordable for girls around the world.

I will replace 2 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will use public transit 20 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 3.28 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during the EcoChallenge, either because it went bad before I ate it, I put too much on my plate, or it was scraps from food preparation.
