I will research and support local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

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

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 properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

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

I will commute by bike 5 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 7.19 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact bike routes and express my support for better biking infrastructure.

I will cook 3 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will source 25 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 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 watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).
