Forests

I will plant 2 native tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

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.

DAILY ACTIONS

Forests

Make the Switch to Cloth

I chose to use cloth diapers & wipes instead of disposable paper & plastic diapers for my children. I am saving ~3,800 diapers per year per child per year. This is equivalent to approx 1,000 lbs of garbage per year saved from a landfill. I have been cloth diapering for 3 years and will likely be using them for another 1.5 years until my youngest is potty trained.

    It helps me to not feel so disconnected during this time when I cannot see my family, friends and coworkers. I believe it helps others by letting them know they are a valued part of someone else;s life and their presence is missed.

    That is was lower than the average household for my area. It feels good to know the choices I make DO make a difference!
