A community can be brought to its knees without dependable power, often affecting the most vulnerable. I will write letter(s) or email(s) per day to a public official or company to advocate for a more resilient power grid (e.g. microgrids, solar+storage).

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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

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 complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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.

BECAUSE I THINK IT IS NOT TRUE, AND PEOPLE LIKE TO GET ALARMED BECAUSE OF THINGS THEY CAN'T SEE.
