I will set up a visit to tour a green roof in my city, and ask about the codes and process for installing a green roof.

I will connect with a local nonprofit working on womens' or girls' issues in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

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

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

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

I will buy from organic and local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

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

I will start a compost bin where I live.

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

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.
