I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

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 spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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

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

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

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

I will spend 30 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

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

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

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

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