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 research and support local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

I will spend at least 30 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 1 friends, family and/or colleagues.

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.

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