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 get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will save up to 8 gallons (32 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow shower-head.

I will volunteer 3 hours in my community during the challenge.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

I will spend at least 90 minutes touring (virtually or in person) a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about our local waste and waste recovery streams.

I will install a greywater catchment system in my home.

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

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

Whether it's by donating or volunteering, I will research the benefits of low-income solar and find out how I can support low-income solar initiatives in my area.

I will spend 120 minutes learning how conflict between people impacts people + planet.

I will repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, electronics, clothing, and more.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minutes each day.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

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

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

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

I will spend 60 minutes learning about constructive communication.

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 10 conversations.
