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

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

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