I will source 1 meal(s) 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 buy from organic and local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

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

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

I will support women-owned businesses when I shop this month.

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

I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

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 sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will use public transit 5 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 0.82 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
