Hope Bernstein

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.

I will source 10 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 spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching other Drawdown Food Solutions.

I will spend 10 minutes each day researching women-owned businesses I can support when shopping.
