Electricity
Learn More about Wave and Tidal Energy
Ocean Power
I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.
Transportation
Conduct Virtual Meetings
Telepresence
I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

Reduce Animal Products
Plant-Rich Diets
I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
Keep Track of Wasted Food
Reduced Food Waste
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.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land UseWhy do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our bodies, our planet, and other people?
Christina Hingle 3/03/2021 5:10 PMI believe people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places because richer people can afford to do so. I recently watched this Netflix documentary called Game Changers, about athletes who eat completely plant based. One body builder said that once he was asked, "How as strong as an ox, without eating meat?" He replied with, "Have you ever seen an ox eat meat?" This blew my mind- I've never thought about that! In the documentary, I also learned that human teeth aren't meant to eat meat. Our teeth are made to eat crunchy fruits and vegetables. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricityWhat did you learn about wave and tidal energy? How do they compare to other energy sources?
Christina Hingle 3/03/2021 5:01 PMWhat I learned about wave and tidal energy was that they turn kinetic energy into electricity. It is an extremely expensive way of getting energy, and the work on it is far behind wind energy, but I think this would be a very sustainable way of getting people electricity. There wouldn't be any worry of the waves running low/ running out of energy because waves will never stop- it's a very predictable energy source and it's inexhaustable.
