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.

I live in an house which has only a wood heating. That means that you can live without Gas or Oil. Cooking is mostly done on the wood stove, except in summer when it is too hot.

I will explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.

I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will visit Tradewater’s website to learn more about carbon offsets, and why they are a necessary solution in combating a climate crisis.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the barriers to women's equal participation and representation around the world.

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact neighborhood walkability and express my support for better walking infrastructure.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

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.

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 use public transit 1 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will enjoy 3 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will take a walk for 20 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will commute by bike 5 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
