I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will start a compost or worm bin where I live.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of micro wind.

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 spend 30 minutes finding out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

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 learn about sustainable fashion and begin practicing it in my own life.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 120 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.
