I will recycle 3 items at work and/or at home each day, making sure I review recycling program guidelines and only place accepted items that are clean, empty, and dry in the recycling bin.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 4 locally-sourced meals.

I will volunteer 1 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will donate blood in my community to make sure there are adequate supplies for routine medical services and emergencies.

I will keep 2 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

I will replace 5 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities, and limit my social media use to once per day.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 10 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 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 repair an item, such as clothing or an appliance, for myself, a friend, family member, or neighbor.
