Maggie Ali

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.

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

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

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

If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

I will spend at least 120 minutes learning about the legacy of redlining and how city planning and environmental justice issues are interconnected.

Every day, I will write or call 1 public officials to advocate for Marine Protected Areas or macroalgae/seaweed ecosystems in my local, regional, or national area.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org and download the app to commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water a day or 330 gallons (1,230 L) a month by installing a toilet tank bank.

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

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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

I will write 1 letters or emails per day to a public official or representative to advocate for policies that protect wetlands.
