Mountain Raschke

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

I will spend at least 7 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by attending a training, workshop, or presentation.

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 5 friends, family and/or colleagues.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

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

I will start a compost bin where I live.

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