I will spend at least 20 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of micro wind.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

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

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 spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

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

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

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 practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin practicing it in my own life.
