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.

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

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

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.
