You'll be an Drawdown Ecochallenge expert in no time!
I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.
Ocean Power
I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.
I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.
Plant-Rich Diets
I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.
Individual actions are important, but people and organizations working together can make a real impact. I will share a carbon calculator with a friend and invite them to calculate the carbon footprint of their household.
Bioplastics
I will avoid buying and using 3 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.
Red meat, such as pork, beef, lamb, etc. require more resources to raise and also have a greater carbon footprint. Electing to not eat red meat reduces reliance on these meats and reduces your carbon footprint
I will spend 10 minute(s) learning about the climate impact of refrigerants and what climate-friendly refrigerants are by using the links provided
Recycling
I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
