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

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 spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

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 spend at least 60 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

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