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, including electronics and metals.

I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will spend at least 60 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will source 10 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.
