I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will replace 8 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

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

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for every day.

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

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will reflect on how I am feeling and express myself through writing, art, music, physical activity, or another creative way to enhance well-being

I will increase my step count by 2000 each day and will take breaks from sitting by briefly getting up and moving once per hour during the day.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, or walking and biking instead.

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

I will work from home 3 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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 volunteer 4 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

Choose a new reflective prompt each day to explore your thoughts.

Take a 1-hour break from all screens each day (or set a "no phone after 9 PM" rule).
