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

I will take a walk for 60 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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

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

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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 source 20 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 watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in creating or purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.
