"I'm trying to do more to protect the environment in order to reduce current and future human and animal suffering and learning more about our amazing planet and people in the process."
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.
It is something I can do easily every day. I have challenged my book group to this action. I love reading and I love learning about solutions. I know this category is about improving education for others but it suits me, too.
Reduced Food Waste
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 purchase a carbon offset for my recent car trip to New Hampshire and Vermont.
I will share what I've learned about the transportation sector and solutions once each week
Public Transit
I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.
