Get plastic out of my life!
Flying
Avoid or carbon offset your flight
If I have to fly, I will choose to offset the CO2 emissions of my flight by purchasing a carbon offset.
Quick Fixes
Adjust the thermostat
To avoid excessive heating and cooling, I will turn the thermostat down a few degrees in the winter and up in the summer.
Highest-Impact Solutions
Reduce food waste
The average American wastes over $400 and tons of energy on uneaten food per year, I will save that money and reduce the amount of food I waste by effectively meal planning, not overordering, and composting or donating leftover food.

Commit to an electric vehicle (EV)
I will switch to an electric vehicle and save at least $800 in fuel costs alone and prevent about 3 tons of carbon emissions compared to a typical gasoline-powered car every year.
Highest-Impact Solutions
Participate in a green power program
If clean energy on my home is not an option, I will enroll in a legitimate green power program to encourage sourcing of electricity from renewable energy sources.

I will make it a habit to only run a full dishwasher to save water and energy.

Turn off the lights
I will make it a habit to always turn off the lights when I leave a room.
