Courtney Williams (PISLAND)

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

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 spend 30 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 switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I pledge to take one action that improves the sustainability of my organization in 2025. It can be an action from this challenge or another action that improves resource stewardship.

I will plant 2 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 help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 10 items.

I will pick up 3 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

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

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 keep 10 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.
