Erica Lawrence

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

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

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 spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the environmental services provided by and the environmental issues affecting temperate forests.

I will plant 5 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

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