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

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.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching other Drawdown Electricity Generation Solutions.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of Micro Wind.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

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

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

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.
