I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will research and tell 1 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

I will calculate the greenhouse gas emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce my negative impact on the environment.

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

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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

No food waste today!

Today I turned the lights out when I left the room and turned my tech off at the sockets when not in use. We turned it off!

Today I used my bike instead of taking my car. Fresh Air, Fast Feet and Carbon Free travel!
