I will spend at least 60 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by attending a training, workshop, or presentation.

I will donate to The Nature Conservancy, which works with Indigenous Peoples to secure land tenure and resource rights, support improved governance and local institutions, assist in natural resource mapping, planning and management; and strengthen livelihoods and sustainable economic development.

I will spend at least 60 minutes finding out if anyone is working on perennial biomass projects in my region and how I can get involved.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will host a film screening and discussion about women's and gender equality issues.

I will research and support local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

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

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