I will make a donation to a nonprofit that installs microgeneration in low income countries.

I will spend at least 45 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of micro wind.

I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.

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, and commit to reducing my food waste throughout the challenge.

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

I will start a compost or worm bin where I live.

I will donate 12 Femme Kits to help people who menstruate overcome health and sanitation barriers to being able to attend school.

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

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.

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

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

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day or 450 gallons (1,680 L) a month by installing a low-flow showerhead.

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.
