Choose LED Bulbs
#33 LED Lighting (Household)
I will replace 18 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
Going to try and track my wasted food. I've always wanted to do this and see if it would make sense to start composting. Might be a harder challenge getting my roommates on board! I also want to explore carbon offset credits as I have 4 plane trips in the next month alone.
