Watch the short video below to learn the basics.
You'll be an Drawdown EcoChallenge expert in no time!
#37 Mass Transit
I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.
#7 Family Planning
I will donate to supply a community with reproductive health supplies.
#35 Bamboo
When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.
#48 In-Stream Hydro, #76 Micro Wind, #78 Microgrids
I will make a donation to a nonprofit that installs microgeneration in low income countries.
#6 Educating Girls
I will donate 5 Femme Kit(s) to help girls overcome health and sanitation barriers to being able to attend school.
#4 Plant-Rich Diet
I will source 75 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.
#8 Solar Farms
I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.
#3 Reduced Food Waste
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.
#3 Reduced Food Waste
I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.
#62 Women Smallholders
I will spend 30 minutes each day researching women-owned businesses I can support when shopping.
#7 Family Planning
I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
