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

Choose Renewable Energy or Purchase Renewable Energy Credits

Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
Keep Track of Wasted Food

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.
