I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will spend 10 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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

I will spend 10 minutes learning about the experiences of trans, femme, and/or nonbinary people.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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