Ascher Levy

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will enjoy 3 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will source 3 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 prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

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

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

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

I will spend at least 53 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.
