I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the environmental services provided by and the environmental issues affecting temperate forests.

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

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.
