I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

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

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

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

I will spend 30 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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

I will volunteer 8 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

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.
