I will spend at least 30 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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

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

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

I will spend at least 60 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

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 use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.
