I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

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 reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions, and opting out of junk mail.

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

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

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

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 learn about sustainable fashion and begin practicing it in my own life.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will take a walk for 20 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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 enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.
