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

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching other Drawdown Food Solutions.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will donate to nonprofits that install clean cookstoves in low-income countries.

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

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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

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 commute by carpool 1 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 11.66 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

I will source 50 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.

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