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

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

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

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

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 start a compost bin where I live.
