I will replace 8 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 8 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about how our oceans support life on Earth by producing oxygen, regulating climate, and providing habitat, food, and jobs.

Plastic packaging can clog our water ways and the stomachs of sea creatures. I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

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 5 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
