You'll be an Earth Month Ecochallenge: Drawdown expert in no time!
"“The Earth is what we all have in common.” —Wendell Berry"
Recycling
I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
All Drawdown Solutions
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.
Insulation
I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.
Biochar Production
I will spend 20 minute(s) learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.
Methane Digesters
I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).
Multiple Solutions
I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.
Composting, Reduced Food Waste
I will start a compost bin where I live.
Tropical Forest Restoration
I will spend at least 20 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.
Spend 15 minutes browsing the new World Climate Hub website, hosted by Deloitte US Sustainability!
Public Transit
I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.

Telepresence, High-Speed Rail
Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
Support a sustainable winery during Earth Month. Additionally, Living Lands & Waters will plant one tree for every bottle of the Dreaming Tree Wines sold with a goal of planting up to 80,000 trees!
