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

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

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

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 researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 5 friends, family and/or colleagues.

I will contact 4 elected officials to voice my opinion on the importance of restoring farmland in my region, including both public and private land.

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.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching other Drawdown Food Solutions.

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

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

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will donate to Cool Effect's cookstove projects or another nonprofit that installs clean cookstoves in low-income countries.
