Victoria Carrature

I will spend at least 2 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will spend at least 4 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

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

I will spend at least 4 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 3 friends, family and/or colleagues.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will enjoy 4 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will spend at least 4 minutes researching other Drawdown Food Solutions.

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 avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.
