I will spend at least 7 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.

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 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.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 3 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.
