John O'Horo

I will write or call 3 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

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 find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

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

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

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

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

I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will replace 6 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
