Alyssa Parker

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

I will enjoy 3 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will source 60 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 at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will commute by carpool 45 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 18.17 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching other Drawdown Transport Solutions.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

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