Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will volunteer 10 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about systemic racism.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will spend quality time with family and friends by playing low-tech game(s) and/or through the spirit of imagination.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 30 minute(s)

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

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

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