I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

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

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

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

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

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 fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will spend at least 45 minutes researching other Drawdown Transport Solutions.

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

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

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.
