I will spend at least 15 minutes researching other Drawdown Electricity Solutions.

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

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

I will source 33 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 researching how people can build with carbon-storing materials - including agricultural byproducts - and discuss it with my peers in person or by posting to social media.

I will spend 10 minute(s) learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.
