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

I will test drive an electric bike at a local distributor to see if it makes sense to use one in place of my car, or to extend the area I can cover by bike.

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

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

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the environmental services provided by and the environmental issues affecting temperate forests.

I will spend at least 10 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

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