I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by attending a training, workshop, or presentation.

I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will spend at least 5 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

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

I will plant 3 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will donate to The Nature Conservancy, which works with Indigenous Peoples to secure land tenure and resource rights, support improved governance and local institutions, assist in natural resource mapping, planning and management; and strengthen livelihoods and sustainable economic development.

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

I will source 20 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 enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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

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

I will assess the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on electric and fuel-efficient vehicles

I will spend at least 5 minutes researching other Drawdown Transport Solutions.

I will test drive an electric bike at a local distributor to see if it makes sense to use one in place of my car, or to extend the area I can cover by bike.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.
