I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 5 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will research and support local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

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

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.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.

Record and share a video describing your aha moment during Drawdown Ecochallenge through the resource link.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions, and opting out of junk mail.

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

Through social media (LinkedIn or Instagram), I will share what I've learned about Food, Agriculture, & Land Use and tag Ecochallenge.org.

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