I will spend at least 120 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

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 120 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

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

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

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 write or call 2 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.

I will contact 2 elected officials to voice my opinion on the importance of restoring farmland in my region, including both public and private land.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

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