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.

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.

    Over the past week, I have planted more than 100 Ponderosa Pines on our property. The plugs were purchased from a national forest nursery that provides native plants for our climate zone. Each day I have spent an hour or so selecting the best site for each seedling, digging the hole, adding the mycorrhizae to support root health, planting the seed plug, and watering it thoroughly with cool water and root stimulator. It has been relaxing and fulfilling to step away from my computer to nurture the native plants where I live.
