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

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will plant 2 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will take a walk for 48 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will commute by bike 2 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

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.
