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

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

I will spend 1 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will volunteer 20 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will commute by bike 8 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 7.48 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

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