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 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of Micro Wind.

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

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

I will contact a local installer/distributor to see if a solar water heater makes sense for my house.

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

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

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 donate one or more Femme Kits to help girls overcome health and sanitation barriers to being able to attend school.
