Grant Schrack

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 30 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching other Drawdown Transport Solutions.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching other Drawdown Buildings and Cities Solutions.

I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out if my city, region, or state offers incentives for retrofitting existing buildings.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

I will set up a recycling center at my workplace or school.

I will write or call 1 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.
