Christine Power

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 spend at least 20 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

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 reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water per day by installing a toilet tank bank.

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

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 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will write or call 1 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.
