Kelly Bauman (EcoChallenge Staff)

I will install rooftop solar on my home and generate $1100 in energy savings and prevent over 6 tons of carbon emissions per year.

I will reuse materials instead of buying new ones and donate materials that I no longer use.

I will avoid using disposable plates, cups, or utensils. Instead, I will use long-lasting and reusable materials.

I will avoid sending food waste to the landfill by composting my food or learning how to.

I will source 5 meal(s) per day from local producers. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.
