Jim Connolly

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 make a donation to a nonprofit that installs microgeneration in low income countries.

I will contact a local installer/distributor to see if a solar water heater makes sense for my house.

I will donate to supply a community with reproductive health supplies.

I will donate 1 Femme Kit(s) to help girls overcome health and sanitation barriers to being able to attend school.

I will source 1 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 replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

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