I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

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

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

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