If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

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

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 use public transit 10 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 1.14 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will donate to supply a community with reproductive health supplies.

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 donate one or more Femme Kits to help girls overcome health and sanitation barriers to being able to attend school.

I will share stats on gender inequity in education with my social media feed to raise awareness.

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 enjoy 3 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.
