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

If I have to buy paper products, I will only purchase products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

I will replace or remove products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

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

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will create a plan to and advocate for solar installation at my business, apartment building, or campus.
