I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

Knowing our carbon footprint is the first step to reducing it. I will calculate my carbon impact and identify lifestyle changes that could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment. I will share my commitments to lowering my impact on the feed.

I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I’ll take a short pre-survey to share what motivated me to join — and earn 15 points! (If I already took the survey by email, I’ll just mark this action complete to get my points.)

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will volunteer 4 hours in my community during the challenge.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 5 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

Small acts of kindness and gratitude can brighten someone's day and create a positive ripple effect. I will express gratitude to 1 people or perform 2 random acts of kindness to spread joy and connection.

Cutting back on refined sugar can improve energy, mood, and overall health. I will limit my intake of sugary snacks and drinks by reducing refined sugar in meals or snacks each day.
