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

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

I will create a plan to and advocate for solar installation at my business, apartment building, or campus.

After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

I will research and tell 1 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

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 commute by carpool 1 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to -0.02 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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 spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

I will write or call 1 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.

I will source 54 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 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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.
