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

I will research and tell 10 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

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

I will spend 30 minutes researching businesses owned by women, immigrants, and Black, Indigenous, and people of color that I can support when shopping.

If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

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

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 plant 4 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

I will spend at least 40 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.
