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 spend at least 60 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

I will spend at least 120 minutes learning more about the environmental services provided by and the environmental issues affecting temperate forests.

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

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out if anyone is working on perennial biomass projects in my region and how I can get involved.

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.
