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

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

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

I will set up a visit to tour a green roof in my city, and ask about the codes and process for installing a green roof.

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

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

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

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

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