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

I will source 75 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 spend 60 minutes each day researching women-owned businesses I can support when shopping.

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

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

I will spend at least 45 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

I will spend at least 45 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

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

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

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 60 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

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