Kelli Kilroy

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

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

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 prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

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.

Using the Seafood Watch guide, I will feature a sustainable seafood ingredient in a new recipe.

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