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 volunteer 6 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

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 adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will save up to 15 gal (56 L) of water a day or 450 gal (1,680 L) a month by installing a low-flow showerhead.

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 enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will take a 60-minute walk outside each day.

I will replace 120 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 5 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
