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.
