I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will organize one of Ecochallenge.org's discussion courses, such as Powering a Bright Future, with classmate, friends, co-workers, or family.

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 8 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

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 sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will commute by bike 4 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.

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