Kayla Beranek

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

I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.

After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

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