I will buy from organic and local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

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 commute by bike 4 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 2.13 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

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

I will spend at least 5 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will volunteer 2 hours with a wetland restoration project in my region.
