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

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

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

I will spend at least 90 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

I will source 2 meal(s) from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water per day by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

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

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

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will spend at least 45 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.
