I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

If I have to buy paper products, I will only purchase products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

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 cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.

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

I will replace or remove products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and subscriptions.
