Lauren Kaye

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

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

I will commute by carpool 6 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 2.59 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

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 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 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.
