Thomas Fahey

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will take a walk for 60 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
