Mary Ann Newman

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

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will source 25 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 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 spend at least 15 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).
