I will test drive an electric bike at a local distributor to see if it makes sense to use one in place of my car, or to extend the area I can cover by bike.

I will spend at least 60 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

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

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.
