I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

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

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

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 avoid buying and using 1 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

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

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.
