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 start a compost bin where I live.

I will buy from organic and local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

I will support women-owned businesses when I shop this month.

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 cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

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

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

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

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

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching other Drawdown Transport Solutions.
