I will spend at least 60 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

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 watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

I will source 50 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

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

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

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

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