I am really concerned about the impact of rising ocean temperatures and plastics on whales, sea turtles, and other ocean mammals.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

I will research and support local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

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

I will spend 15 minute(s) learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.

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

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

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will calculate the greenhouse gas emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce my negative impact on the environment.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the barriers to women's equal participation and representation around the world.

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

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching other Drawdown Electricity Solutions.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.
