Andrea Kayne

I will sign up for a Master Recycler/Composter program in my area.

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

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

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 find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

I will volunteer 2 hours with a wetland restoration project in my region.

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 source 20 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 use public transit 6 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 3.78 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will enjoy 3 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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

I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.
