I will spend at least 15 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will write or call 2 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.

I will assess the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on electric and fuel-efficient vehicles

I will give 1 microloan(s) to women who need help starting a business.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 60 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

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

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching other Drawdown Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Solutions.

I will research and tell 2 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

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.

Use my electric vehicle as much as possible, avoiding gas vehicle use

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