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 start a compost or worm bin where I live.

I will plan ahead to use paper products only made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

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

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

I will watch Drawdown’s Climate Solutions 101 and share what I learned with others.

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

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

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin practicing it in my own life.

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.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 200 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.
