Myf Browning

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

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

After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

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

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

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

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

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 10 friends, family and/or colleagues.

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 use my spending power to reward companies leading in purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

I will spend at least 30 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.
