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

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact bike routes and express my support for better biking infrastructure.

I will take a walk for 60 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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

I will connect with a local nonprofit working on issues affecting women, girls, and/or trans and nonbinary people in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will raise funds to help make school affordable for girls around the world.

I will donate to supply a community with reproductive health supplies.

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

I will contact a local installer/distributor to see if a solar water heater makes sense for my house.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

I will create a plan to and advocate for solar installation at my business, apartment building, or campus.

After researching the incentives at the federal, state, utility, and local levels, I will contact a local installer/distributor for a solar panel installation consultation on my house.

I will write or call 2 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.
