MARIO ESTRADA

I will take a walk for 60 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will replace 8 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

I will source 90 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 enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

Through social media, I will raise awareness about gender inequity in education by sharing the information found in the links below.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning about the legacy of redlining and how city planning and environmental justice issues are interconnected.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching other Drawdown Buildings Solutions.

I will spend at least 20 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.
