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

I will donate to supply a community with reproductive health supplies.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will replace 6 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will write or call 3 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.

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

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.
