Jackie Parker

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

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

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will spend 30 minutes researching businesses owned by women, immigrants, and Black, Indigenous, and people of color that I can support when shopping.

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