Erin Rocheleau

If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

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 030 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.

I will spend 30 minutes each day researching women-owned businesses I can support when shopping.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

I will spend at least 35 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will research and support local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

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

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

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.
