I will ask my local seafood market or grocery store if their seafood is sustainable and share the Seafood Watch resources so they can stock sustainable options.

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in creating or purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will use seaweed in a new recipe.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.

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

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.
