I will spend at least 60 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

I will test drive an electric bike at a local distributor to see if it makes sense to use one in place of my car, or to extend the area I can cover by bike.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

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 spend at least 30 minutes researching other Drawdown Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Solutions.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will source 60 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 60 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.
