I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 3 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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 plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will source 1 meal(s) each day from local producers.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will cook 3 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will volunteer 6 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
