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 replace 5 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

I will take a walk for 10 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will use seaweed in a new recipe.

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

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will spend 30 minutes researching and shopping from 3 businesses owned by women, people of color, or immigrants.

Using the Seafood Watch guide, I will feature a sustainable seafood ingredient in a new recipe.
