Shelley Meadows

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will spend 15 minutes each day researching businesses owned by women, people of color, or immigrants that I can support when shopping.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will spend at least 120 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.
