I will contact 5 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests and the enforcement of existing anti-logging laws.

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.

Through social media, I will raise awareness about gender inequity in education by sharing the information found in the links below.

I will host a film screening and discussion about women's and gender equality issues.

I will connect with a local nonprofit working on womens' or girls' issues in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will spend at least 5 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

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

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact neighborhood walkability and express my support for better walking infrastructure.

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

I will write or call 3 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.

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

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

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will spend 3 minutes each day researching women-owned businesses I can support when shopping.

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

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