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

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

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

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

I will source 20 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 spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
