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

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will source 3 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 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 use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will raise funds to help make school affordable for girls around the world.

I will use public transit 5 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to -0.11 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

I will sign up for a Master Recycler/Composter program in my area.

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

I will start a compost bin where I live.

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

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.
