Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 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 refuse 2 of single-use paper or plastic bags each day by bringing my own reusable bags or carrying purchased goods another way.

I will enjoy 3 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will volunteer 15 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 7 locally-sourced meals.

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 15 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness and/or Meditation.

I will commit to getting 10 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
