I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of micro wind.

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 enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.

I will source 25 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 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.

Through social media (LinkedIn or Instagram), I will share what I've learned about Food, Agriculture, & Land Use and tag Ecochallenge.org.

I will spend at least 600 minutes learning about the need for more regenerative agriculture.

I will spend 60 minutes researching cattle feed and manure management, or visiting a dairy farm to learn about their farming practices.

I will research and support local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.

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