I will spend at least 20 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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 start a compost or worm bin where I live.

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

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

I will source 100 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will cook 1 meals with zero-waste each day.
