According to USGS, it takes about 35 gallons of water to grow enough beans to produce a single cup of coffee. My goal is to not drink any coffee for the two week challenge which will save about 210 gallons of water (since I drink about 3 cups a week).

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

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 per day that I do this.

I will not eat seafood.

I will not purchase anything but food and water during the Challenge.

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