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

I will explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 180 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 research and support local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

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 find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in creating or purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.
