I will donate to The Nature Conservancy, which works with Indigenous Peoples to secure land tenure and resource rights, support improved governance and local institutions, assist in natural resource mapping, planning and management; and strengthen livelihoods and sustainable economic development.

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 commute by bike 1 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 0.25 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will spend at least 5 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 2 friends, family and/or colleagues.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by attending a training, workshop, or presentation.

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

I will volunteer 3 hours with a wetland restoration project in my region.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

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

I will spend at least 5 minutes researching other Drawdown Electricity Generation Solutions.

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

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

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 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.
