I will spend at least 240 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will volunteer 1 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
