I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 8 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

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.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

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

I will volunteer 20 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will watch 3 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 have a group garage sale with friends, family, and/or neighbors.
