Julia Matrose

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by attending a training, workshop, or presentation.

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

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

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

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

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 cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

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 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.
