I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.

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

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 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.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will volunteer 3 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

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

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

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

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