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

I will take a walk for 45 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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

I will use my electric scooter to get to class and/or work rather than driving to avoid send up carbon dioxide into Earth's atmosphere. I will ride my scooter at least 5 miles each day. I chose this goal because electric scooters are environmentally friendly and are energy efficient.

I will practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

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.
