I will spend at least 17 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 4 friends, family and/or colleagues.

I will avoid buying and using 6 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

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

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will plant 5 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will research and tell 3 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

I will source 2 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 spend at least 2 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

I will spend at least 1 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

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.
