I will spend at least 20 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

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

I will calculate the greenhouse gas emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce my negative impact on the environment.

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

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will take a walk for 20 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

Spend 15 minutes browsing the new World Climate Hub website, hosted by Deloitte US Sustainability!

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

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.
