Mackenzie Smith

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org and download the app to commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will plant 1 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

I will visit a coastal or ocean site to experience the ecosystem and look for the presence of macroalgae/seaweed.

Each day, I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about sustainable aquaculture.

I will spend 30 minutes researching cattle feed and manure management, or visiting a dairy farm to learn about their farming practices.

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 replace 2 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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