Lisa Colicchio

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will enjoy 4 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will source 25 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching other Drawdown Buildings and Cities Solutions.

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
