I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

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 shop from women-owned business(es) today.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will avoid buying and using 2 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will spend 30 minutes each day researching businesses owned by women, people of color, or immigrants that I can support when shopping.
