I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

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

I will commute by bike 3 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

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

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will source 75 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

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