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

I will write or call 4 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 30 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will plant 3 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching other Drawdown Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Solutions.

I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during Drawdown 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 enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

I will watch the introductory video on Drawdown Solutions with Dr. Elizabeth Bagley of Project Drawdown. This excellent presentation provides a primer on how Drawdown solutions reverse greenhouse gas emissions and shares stories of congregations and groups putting solutions into action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHoA25g1tys

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