Connor Ward

I will assess the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on electric and fuel-efficient vehicles

I will spend at least 1 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

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 spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

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 explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.

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

I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

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