I will spend at least 60 minutes researching how people can build with carbon-storing materials - including agricultural byproducts - and discuss it with my peers in person or by posting to social media.

I will spend 60 minute(s) learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will spend at least 240 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).
