I will make a donation to a nonprofit that installs microgeneration in low income countries.

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in creating or purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about carbon offsets, and why they are a necessary solution in combating a climate crisis.

I will donate to Native American Rights Fund, which protects tribal natural resources and environmental rights and promotes Native American Human Rights.

I will start a compost or worm bin where I live.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

I will enjoy 3 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.

I will donate to nonprofits that install clean cookstoves in low-income countries.

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