I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will respect and protect biotic communities by practicing the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When marine wildlife ingest plastic, they have a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

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 use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
