Modal Description
Watch the short video below to learn the basics.
You'll be an Drawdown EcoChallenge expert in no time!
#43 Airplanes, #63 Telepresence
Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
#60 Composting, #3 Reduced Food Waste
I will start a compost bin where I live.
#75 Ridesharing
I will commute by carpool 70 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 23.16 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
#3 Reduced Food Waste
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.
#3 Reduced Food Waste
I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.
#3 Reduced Food Waste
I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.
#4 Plant-Rich Diet
I will source 15 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.
#4 Plant-Rich Diet
I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.
#46 Water Saving - Home
I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.
