Liza McCollum

I will complete a plastics audit to see where plastics show up in my life and determine how I can reduce the use of single-use plastics.

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 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 at least 60 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by participating in a training, workshop, or presentation.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org and download the app to commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.
