Jillian Ouellette

I will spend at least 10 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

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

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

I will take a walk for 20 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.
