Chasen Duran

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.

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

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will support a community garden by volunteering, donating, or advocating for a new or existing one.

I will raise funds to help make school affordable for girls around the world.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day or 450 gallons (1,680 L) a month by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water a day or 330 gallons (1,230 L) a month by installing a toilet tank bank.

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

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