Mackenzie Adams

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 calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will watch Drawdown’s Climate Solutions 101 and share what I learned with others.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

Through social media (LinkedIn or Instagram), I will share what I've learned about Industry Solutions and tag Ecochallenge.org.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by participating in a training, workshop, or presentation.

I will connect with a local nonprofit working on issues affecting women, girls, trans people, and/or nonbinary people in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will volunteer 1 hours with a wetland restoration project in my region to learn about the importance of wetlands.

I will plan ahead to use paper products only made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.

I will contact the fossil fuel companies that supply energy in my community and ask how they manage and reduce methane leakage.

I will set up or join a recycling program at my workplace or school.

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

Using Drawdown's Job Function Action Guide, I will learn about climate actions I can take at work.

I will share a business carbon calculator and encourage my organization to improve our sustainable practices.
