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

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

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

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

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

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

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

I will spend 10 minutes each day researching women-owned businesses I can support when shopping.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

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

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.

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