I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will spend at least 5 minutes finding out if my city, region, province, or country offers incentives for retrofitting existing buildings.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during the 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 will work with my community to retrofit my local arena to be more energy efficient.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in creating or purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

I will research what it would take to replace my arena's fossil fuel powered zamboni with an electric or renewable energy zamboni.
