Teresa Hunt

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

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 enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will plant 2 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

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

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

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

I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.
