Donna Passante

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

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

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

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of Micro Wind.

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

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

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 cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

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