Through social media (LinkedIn or Instagram), I will share what I've learned about Electricity Generation and tag Ecochallenge.org.

I will avoid buying and using 3 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the climate impact of refrigerants and what climate-friendly refrigerants are by using the links below.

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

I will spend 60 minutes learning about carbon offsets, and why they are a necessary solution in combating a climate crisis.

I will share a business carbon calculator and encourage my organization to improve our sustainable practices.

Using Drawdown's Job Function Action Guide, I will learn about climate actions I can take at work.

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 sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will contact the fossil fuel companies that supply energy in my community and ask how they manage and reduce methane leakage.
