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

I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching other Drawdown Buildings and Cities Solutions.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching other Drawdown Electricity Generation Solutions.

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

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 assess the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on electric and fuel-efficient vehicles

I will source 20 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 enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will take a walk for 10 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.
