I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will spend at least 30 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching other Drawdown Transportation Solutions.

I will spend at least 45 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

Find a fact about deforestation and land use which you didnt know before! What was surprising, disappointing, or good about it?

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

I made this goal so people can be more aware of their surroundings. The goal is to bike for at least 5 miles everyday.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

the goal is to switch off all lights, contitioning/heating, and fans when not in use.
