I will replace 1 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will test drive an electric bike at a local distributor to see if it makes sense to use one in place of my car, or to extend the area I can cover by bike.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

I will create a plan to and advocate for solar installation at my business, apartment building, or campus.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.

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

I will volunteer 4 hours with a wetland restoration project in my region.

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 spend at least 60 minutes researching other Drawdown Transport Solutions.

I will spend at least 120 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

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

I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

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

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.
