I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 20 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

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

I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

I will replace 2 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

I will assess the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on electric and fuel-efficient vehicles

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.
