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

My goal is to gain a certain amount of steps every day as well as keeping up with exercising such as walking or running.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.
