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

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.

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

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 45 minute(s)

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 120 minute(s) each day.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will replace 30 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.
