Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will plant 20 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 20 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will install alternative energy systems, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

I will replace 20 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will find out what stocks and bonds are in my investment account portfolio to determine if they align with my values (e.g. environmental, social responsibility, community).

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and determine if it is right for me.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.
