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.

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

I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching other Drawdown Electricity Solutions.

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

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

I will calculate the greenhouse gas emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce my negative impact on the environment.
