I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will source 1 meal(s) from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will connect with a local nonprofit working on womens' or girls' issues in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will set up a visit to tour a green roof in my city, and ask about the codes and process for installing a green roof.

I will replace 1 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching other Drawdown Food Solutions.

I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during the EcoChallenge, either because it went bad before I ate it, I put too much on my plate, or it was scraps from food preparation.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.
