I will reduce the amount of unwanted mail I receive (catalogs, phone books, etc.).

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

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and subscriptions.

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 de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my family, for 1 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 enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) per day.

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