I will source 15 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 enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 4 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

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 explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.

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 spend 40 minutes learning about carbon offsets, and why they are a necessary solution in combating a climate crisis.

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

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

Each day, I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about sustainable aquaculture.
