I will replace 30 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

I will volunteer 4 hours in my community.

I will commute by carpool 25 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I will try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.

One kilogram of beef and cheese emits 71kg and 24kg of greenhouse gasses, while 1kg of rice, grains, and legumes emits between 2-4kg. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts emit less than 1kg per 1kg. I will reduce my climate impact by enjoying 1 meatless meals and/or 0 vegan meals each day this week.

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

Each day, I will track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.

To reduce CO2 emissions each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

I will become a savvy produce shopper when buying organic and non-organic items.
