Pete Pallagi

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

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

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

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 donate to The Nature Conservancy, which works with Indigenous Peoples to secure land tenure and resource rights, support improved governance and local institutions, assist in natural resource mapping, planning and management; and strengthen livelihoods and sustainable economic development.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes finding out if my city, region, or state offers incentives for retrofitting existing buildings.

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

I will replace 8 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
