I will spend at least 30 min. minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

I will spend at least 30 min. minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

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