Modal Description
Watch the short video below to learn the basics.
You'll be an Drawdown Ecochallenge expert in no time!
Make a website that explains the barriers to women's education and how that connects to climate change. Explain solutions and make it easier for the readers/viewers to support those solutions.
I will visit Tradewater’s website to learn more about carbon offsets, and why they are a necessary solution in combating a climate crisis.
Sustainable Intensification for Smallholders
I will shop from women-owned business(es) today.
Refrigerant Management
I will explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.
Ocean Farming
I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
All Electricity Solutions
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 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.
Organizations have a responsibility to make sustainable business decisions. To understand how to improve sustainable practices, it’s important to start with understanding the current impact. I will share the Tradewater Business Carbon Calculator with my organization.
LED Lighting
I will replace 6 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 10 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
Temperate Forest Restoration
I will plant 2 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
