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 differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

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

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.
