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

I will promote equity and support my community by purchasing items at 5 diverse- and/or locally-owned businesses.

I will commit to getting 24 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about how indoor air quality impacts health and commit to taking one action to improve indoor air quality in my living space.

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

I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

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 at least 20 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will keep 10 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

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

I will plant 3 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard. Check out resources for which tree species are best to plant in your area.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 32oz of water each day. I will do this by drinking additional servings of water or by drinking water in place of other less healthy beverage options.

I will turn my computer monitor(s) off at my work station when not in use to save energy (I will follow my organization's IT instructions for keeping on, turning off, or restarting computers).

Lighting makes up approximately 10% of hospitals' energy use on average. I will save energy by turning off unnecessary lights when not in use and when I am the last one to leave a space.

I will repair an item, such as clothing or an appliance, for myself, a friend, family member, or neighbor.
