Deb Becker

I will spend 5 minutes each day researching women-owned businesses I can support when shopping.

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

After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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 fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.
