Monica Faria

I will spend at least 70 minutes researching other Drawdown Transport Solutions.

I will buy from organic and local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

I will spend at least 4 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

I will commute by bike 14 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 10.27 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will spend at least 4 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will source 3 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 contact 2 elected officials to voice my opinion on the importance of restoring farmland in my region, including both public and private land.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

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 find out who in my city makes decisions that impact bike routes and express my support for better biking infrastructure.
