I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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 30 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

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

I will use public transit 4 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 1.46 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the barriers to women's equal participation and representation around the world.
