McKinley Bowman

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the barriers to women's equal participation and representation around the world.

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

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will enjoy 3 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will spend 30 minutes each day researching women-owned businesses I can support when shopping.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will source 70 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 donate to The Nature Conservancy, which works with Indigenous Peoples to secure land tenure and resource rights, support improved governance and local institutions, assist in natural resource mapping, planning and management; and strengthen livelihoods and sustainable economic development.
