I will create a plan to and advocate for solar installation at my business, apartment building, or campus.

I will research and tell 1 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

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 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.

After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

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.

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

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