Fantastic book full of the FACTS!

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

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.
