I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in creating or purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green 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 eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will source 25 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 20 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

Insects are a low impact alternative to mammals and fish for protein.

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
