Using the Seafood Watch guide, I will feature a sustainable seafood ingredient in a new recipe.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will spend 56 minutes researching cattle feed and manure management, or visiting a dairy farm to learn about their farming practices.

I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.

I will research and support local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will replace 6 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will complete a plastics audit to see where plastics show up in my life and determine how I can reduce the use of single-use plastics.

I will explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.

I will practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will avoid buying and using 2 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.

I will ask my local seafood market or grocery store if their seafood is sustainable and share the Seafood Watch resources so they can stock sustainable options.

I will start a compost or worm bin where I live.

I will watch Drawdown’s Climate Solutions 101 and share what I learned with others.
