I will spend at least 5 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

If I have to buy paper products, I will only purchase products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

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 enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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

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

I will spend at least 5 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

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.
