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

I will explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.

I will source 25 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 find out who in my city makes decisions that impact neighborhood walkability and express my support for better walking infrastructure.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will take a walk for 20 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will make a donation to a nonprofit that installs microgeneration in low income countries.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 60 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

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