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

I will spend 15 minutes researching the environmental benefits of peatlands and what is being done around the world to conserve and restore them.

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 spend at least 10 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will volunteer 2 hours with a wetland restoration project in my region.

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes finding out if anyone is working on perennial biomass projects in my region and how I can get involved.

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

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

I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching other Drawdown Electricity Generation Solutions.
