Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.

Using Drawdown's Job Function Action Guide, I will learn about climate actions I can take at work.

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

I will use seaweed in a new recipe.

I will spend 60 minutes researching and shopping from 5 businesses owned by women, people of color, or immigrants.

I will take a walk for 10 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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 tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.
