I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will commute by carpool 42 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 23.71 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will plant 5 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.
