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

I will spend at least 48 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will source 2 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 47 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.

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 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.

I will spend at least 13 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will plant 3 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of micro wind.
