I will spend 30 minutes listening to a podcast about food.

I will walk 2 miles each day instead of driving and avoid sending CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

Regular health check-ups help prevent problems before they start. I will schedule or attend a medical, dental, or mental health check-up to take care of my well-being.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

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 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 plant 3 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will volunteer 2 hours in my community during the challenge.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

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

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
