I will spend at least 20 minutes researching other Drawdown Food Solutions.

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 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 source 5 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 spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

I will commute by bike 1 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 24.05 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact neighborhood walkability and express my support for better walking infrastructure.

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

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning more about the environmental services provided by and the environmental issues affecting temperate forests.

I will cook 3 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.
