Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 120 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

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

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day or 450 gallons (1,680 L) a month by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will spend at least 180 minutes learning about the legacy of redlining and how city planning and environmental justice issues are interconnected.

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

I will spend at least 120 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.

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 spend at least 30 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.
