I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 7 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.
I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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.

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 spend at least 25 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).
