Rebecca Hardin-Nieri

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

I will host a film screening and discussion about women's and gender equality issues.

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

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 connect with a local nonprofit working on womens' or girls' issues in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

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

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