I will contact my local election office to volunteer during the upcoming election.

I will shop at a farmers market or food co-op to support local farmers and businesses. By doing so, I may be able to learn more about who produces the food I eat and goods I buy.

I will spend 45 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will replace 30 minutes each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

Food waste hurts our planet and our communities. I will cook 01 meals with zero waste each day.

Organic farming practices are healthier and safer for our planet, animals, and people. I will enjoy 2 meals cooked with organic ingredients per day.

I will volunteer 16 hours in my community during the challenge.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 1 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 3 gallons (11 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

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.
