I will spend at least 5 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will source 10 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.

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

I will cook 2 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 only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

I will spend at least 10 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 spend at least 10 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will spend 10 minutes researching the environmental benefits of peatlands and what is being done around the world to conserve and restore them.

I will plant 15 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.
