I will watch 2 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 replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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 host a house party with 3 friends and/or colleagues to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on an environmental issue that matters to me.

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

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

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 25 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will use public transit 2 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 0.0 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

I will spend at least 20 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.
