Eileen Silva-Tetlow

I will spend at least 15 minute(s) researching how people can build with carbon-storing materials - including agricultural byproducts - and discuss it with my peers or post to social media.

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will spend 10 minute(s) learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.

I will donate to Native American Rights Fund, which protects tribal natural resources and environmental rights and promotes Native American Human Rights.

I will write 1 letter(s) or email(s) per day to a public official or representative to advocate for policies that protect wetlands.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
