I will connect with a local nonprofit working on womens' or girls' issues in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

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 spend at least 10 minutes researching other Drawdown Food Solutions.

I will enjoy 3 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will spend at least 240 minutes learning more about the barriers to women's equal participation and representation around the world.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

I will make a donation to a nonprofit that installs microgeneration in low income countries.

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 create a plan to and advocate for solar installation at my business, apartment building, or campus.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.
