I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will spend 10 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

I will volunteer 5 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will spend 15 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).
