I will research and tell 5 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

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

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.

If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

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

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 to The Nature Conservancy, which works with Indigenous Peoples to secure land tenure and resource rights, support improved governance and local institutions, assist in natural resource mapping, planning and management; and strengthen livelihoods and sustainable economic development.

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching other Drawdown Food Solutions.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

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 spend at least 15 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

I will contact 2 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests and the enforcement of existing anti-logging laws.
