Nolan Chronister (902)

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching other Drawdown Transportation Solutions.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.

I will assess the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on electric and fuel-efficient vehicles.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

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 cook 1 meals with zero-waste each day.

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

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

I will source 10 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

Using the Seafood Watch guide, I will feature a sustainable seafood ingredient in a new recipe.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

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

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.
