Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

Through social media (LinkedIn or Instagram), I will share what I've learned about gender inequity in education and tag Ecochallenge.org.

Through social media (LinkedIn or Instagram), I will share what I've learned about Food, Agriculture, & Land Use and tag Ecochallenge.org.

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 visit a coastal or ocean site to experience the ecosystem and look for the presence of macroalgae/seaweed.

I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

Through social media (LinkedIn or Instagram), I will share what I've learned about the Buildings sector and tag Ecochallenge.org.

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 spend 100 minutes finding out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will spend at least 120 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.
