I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

Bringing home unique souvenirs from trips you’ve enjoyed is meaningful, and giving people unique gifts from other places is fun. Seek souvenirs and gifts that support local communities and do not cause harm to the environment or wildlife.

I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

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

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 1 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

Avoid beauty products with micro beads or harsh chemicals that will feed into the ground and your water supply.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher and only run the dishwasher when it’s full.
