I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will volunteer 4 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 120 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.
