Indigenous Peoples' Forest Tenure

Reduced Food Waste
I will spend at least 20 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.
Reduced Food Waste
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.
Plant-Rich Diets
I will enjoy 3 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.
Improved Cattle Feed; Improved Manure Management
