Laurie Bush

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

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will source 5 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 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 cook 5 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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 commute by carpool 20 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 12.97 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
