You'll be an Drawdown Ecochallenge expert in no time!
Reduced Food Waste
I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.
I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.
Recycled Paper
I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.
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.
Refrigerant Management
I will spend 30 minute(s) learning about the climate impact of refrigerants and what climate-friendly refrigerants are by using the links below.
Recycling
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.
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.
Walkable Cities
I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.
Insects are a low impact alternative to mammals and fish for protein.
Methane Digesters
I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).
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?
Subaru of Kings Automall has teamed up with TerraCycle® to help keep hard-to-recycle trash like coffee cups and snack bag wrappers out of landfills. Instead, we're returning them to the community as something useful, like a bench outside your local school. Together, Subaru retailers like us have already helped keep more than 6,000,000 pieces of hard-to-recycle waste out of local landfills. We've placed Zero Waste Boxes™ in our showroom with labels identifying specific hard-to-recycle items. Once they're filled, we ship the waste to TerraCycle to convert it into pellets for use in manufacturing recycled products. At Subaru, we feel it's our personal responsibility to care about the Earth and protect it for future
