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.

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 1 random acts of kindness to spread joy and connection.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 20 minutes each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will replace 30 minutes of screen time each day with other activities.

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.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

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 replace 2 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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 volunteer 10 hours in my community during the challenge.

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

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.
