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 spend at least 7 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by attending a training, workshop, or presentation.

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

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

I will spend at least 20 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will spend 10 minutes researching the environmental benefits of peatlands and what is being done around the world to conserve and restore them.

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 take a walk for 20 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.
