I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will cook a new recipe every day that features organic and/or local ingredients.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) per day.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my family, for 15 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will disable screen savers and will put the computer to sleep instead, saving up to 28% more energy.

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

I will volunteer 2 hour(s) in my community.

I will involve my children in completing the actions I have selected during the challenge.

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will replace 60 minute(s) of screen time per day with other activities.

I will commit to getting 45 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.
