I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will replace 1 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water per day by installing a toilet tank bank.

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

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

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

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

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

I will cook 3 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.

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

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 cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.
