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

I will use seaweed in a new recipe.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.

I will visit a coastal or ocean site to experience the ecosystem and look for the presence of macroalgae/seaweed.

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

I will spend 5 minutes learning about carbon offsets, and why they are a necessary solution in combating a climate crisis.

Each day, I will spend at least 5 minutes learning more about protecting and restoring macroalgae/seaweed.

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will spend at least 12 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.
