I will not use any disposable plates, cups, or cutlery.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will check labels on my shampoo, lotions and/or beauty products. I'll replace products that use known carcinogens such as formaldehyde, cocamide diethanolamine, DMDM hydantoin or benzene.

I will limit my social media use to once per day.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) per day.

I will choose organic as often as possible to reduce exposure to pesticides, which are unhealthy for me as well as the planet.

I will refrain from going out during the week and instead choose sober and healthy activities like exercising, advocating for change and getting outdoors.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will write down three things that I am grateful for each day OR reach out to thank someone who's doing something positive for our world's health and well-being each day.

I will not purchase anything but food during the challenge.
