I will replace 6 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

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 reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will raise money to support Northwest Earth Institute or another local nonprofit.

I will volunteer 3 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 3 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

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