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

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

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

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

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