After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

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

I will spend at least 45 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of Micro Wind.

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 use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will spend at least 90 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

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