I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will take a walk outside for 15 minutes each day.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

Taking shorter showers save more water

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will replace 120 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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 take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

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 advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

What can lack of access to nutritious food affect a community? How can having access to nutritious food help a community become more resilient?

I will volunteer 10 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.
