Timothy Dow

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.

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

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will support a community garden by volunteering, donating, or advocating for a new or existing one.

I will donate to nonprofits that install clean cookstoves in low-income countries.

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

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about green gentrification and how it relates to city planning for climate action.

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

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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.
