I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

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

I will use public transit 15 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 4.87 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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 encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.

I will spend at least 45 minutes researching other Drawdown Transport Solutions.

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

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

After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

I will create a plan to and advocate for solar installation at my business, apartment building, or campus.
