I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

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

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

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.

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

I will write or call 2 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

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

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and subscriptions.

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 cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.

I will commute by bike 2 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 2.27 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will commute by carpool 20 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 16.12 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
