I will commute by bike 5 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 5.68 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will spend at least 20 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

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 spend at least 30 minutes researching other Drawdown Transport Solutions.

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

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.

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

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

I will replace or remove products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

I will donate to The Nature Conservancy, which works with Indigenous Peoples to secure land tenure and resource rights, support improved governance and local institutions, assist in natural resource mapping, planning and management; and strengthen livelihoods and sustainable economic development.

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.
