I will contact 3 elected officials to voice my opinion on the importance of restoring farmland in my region, including both public and private land.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water per day by installing a toilet tank bank.

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 learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will volunteer 2 hours with a wetland restoration project in my region.

I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out if anyone is working on perennial biomass projects in my region and how I can get involved.
