Lauryn Duoto

I will volunteer 4 hours with a wetland restoration project in my region to learn about the importance of wetlands.

I will donate to supply a community with reproductive health supplies.

I will spend at least 20 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning about green gentrification and how it relates to city planning for climate action.

I will complete a plastics audit to see where plastics show up in my life and determine how I can reduce the use of single-use plastics.

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

I will enjoy 3 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.

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

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

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.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 120 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

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

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