I will spend at least minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

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

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for minute(s) each day.

I will spend at least 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 cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will work from home day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group of decision makers.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will replace incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
