If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact neighborhood walkability and express my support for better walking infrastructure.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

I will donate one or more Femme Kits to help girls overcome health and sanitation barriers to being able to attend school.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact bike routes and express my support for better biking infrastructure.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the barriers to women's equal participation and representation around the world.

I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during the EcoChallenge, either because it went bad before I ate it, I put too much on my plate, or it was scraps from food preparation.
