Kim Sherman

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

I will watch Drawdown’s Climate Solutions 101 and share what I learned with others.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will sell my gas-powered vehicle this month.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of micro wind.

I will research and tell 3 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
