I will spend 5 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 5 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

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.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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 plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

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

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