I will volunteer 2 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.
