Kay Guidry

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will spend at least 60 minutes finding out if my city, region, state, or country offers incentives for retrofitting existing buildings.

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

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 reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions, and opting out of junk mail.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 60 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org and download the app to commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
