Heath Wolfeld

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

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

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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

I will replace 6 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

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

If I have to buy paper products, I will only purchase products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will contact 3 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests and the enforcement of existing anti-logging laws.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 3 friends, family and/or colleagues.

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