I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will connect with a local nonprofit working on issues affecting women, girls, and/or trans and nonbinary people in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will spend 10 minutes researching businesses owned by women, immigrants, and Black, Indigenous, and people of color that I can support when shopping.

I will replace 2 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 use my spending power to reward companies leading in creating or purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.
