I will research and tell 10 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

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 write or call 3 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.

I will spend at least 5 minutes researching other Drawdown Transportation Solutions.

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

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 20 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching other Drawdown Electricity Solutions.

I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

Organizations have a responsibility to make sustainable business decisions. To understand how to improve sustainable practices, it’s important to start with understanding the current impact. I will share the Tradewater Business Carbon Calculator with my organization.
