Climate

My Carbon Footprint

Use an online tool (links below) to calculate my carbon footprint and see what changes would make the most difference. Each calculator varies, but you'll typically need to gather: utility records, the flight history for the last year, and annual mileage and fuel efficiency of your vehicles.

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Climate

Energy savings for the home office

Now that we're all working from home, energy bills could go up. Take some time to evaluate your home office space (even if it's the kitchen table!). Many utilities offer home efficiency kits (LED bulbs, shower heads, etc.) - visit your electric utilities website to see if they offer any of these solutions. The links below will also help you find energy efficiency opportunities in your own space.

    This Earth Day really resonated with me. I learned so much and it is impacting small choices I am making every day.

    Connecting with others is an important part of being human...especially in times of social distancing and quarantine. Being able to talk about your feelings good and bad can strengthen relationships by relating to each other through our shared experiences.

    It is sad to see the amount of food being wasted and knowing there are still people going hungry. I will be more aware of the dates on packaging and waste less food as a result!

    The retail field team took on the carbon footprint challenge as a way to be more aware of behaviors that are harmful to the earth. A points system is a great way to quantify your efforts and a fun challenge which gives you a sense of accomplishment and pride that you are doing something positive to help make a change.
