You'll be an Drawdown Ecochallenge expert in no time!
"There is no Planet B"
Ocean Farming
I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
Conservation Agriculture, Regenerative Annual Cropping
I will spend at least 3 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.
Health and Education
I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the barriers to women's equal participation and representation around the world.
Refrigerant Management
I will spend at least 2 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.
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.
Health and Education
I will raise funds to help make school affordable for girls around the world.
Reduced Food Waste
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.
Plant-Rich Diets
I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.
Electric Bicycles
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.
Sustainable Intensification for Smallholders
I will spend 10 minutes each day researching businesses owned by women, people of color, or immigrants that I can support when shopping.
Reduced Food Waste
I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.
Health and Education
Through social media, I will raise awareness about gender inequity in education by sharing the information found in the links below.
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?
