I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors, or purchase items second-hand to reduce resource use.

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 10 items.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will spend 20 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness and/or Meditation.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes learning about which items are recyclable both at my workplace and at home since they may be different, and recycle only those items.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will volunteer 2 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will refuse 5 of single-use paper or plastic bags each day by bringing my own reusable bags or carrying purchased goods another way.

I will spend 15 minute(s) learning about constructive communication.

I will select a greener option when purchasing supplies, such as products that have environmental certifications, less packaging, or other environmental attributes, or come from local vendors.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.
