Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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

I will write or call 5 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.

I will research and support local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

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

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

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact neighborhood walkability and express my support for better walking infrastructure.

I will write 1 letter(s) or email(s) per day to a public official or representative to advocate for policies that protect wetlands.

I will spend 60 minutes researching businesses owned by women, immigrants, and Black, Indigenous, and people of color that I can support when shopping.

I will contact 5 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests and the enforcement of existing anti-logging laws, as well as the rights of local people to protect and restore the land in their communities.

I will contact 5 elected officials to voice my opinion on the importance of restoring farmland in my region, including both public and private land.

I will donate to Native American Rights Fund, which protects tribal natural resources and environmental rights and promotes Native American Human Rights.

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