I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

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

I will donate to nonprofits that install clean cookstoves in low-income countries.

I will research and tell 2 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.
