Hillarie Logan-Dechene

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

I will spend at least 90 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

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

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact neighborhood walkability and express my support for better walking infrastructure.

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 enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will spend 30 minutes each day researching women-owned businesses I can support when shopping.

I will contact a local installer/distributor to see if a solar water heater makes sense for my house.

I will research and tell 1 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

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