Dae Durisko

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will use seaweed in a new recipe.

I will cook 2 meals with zero-waste each day.

I will practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will complete a plastics audit to see where plastics show up in my life and determine how I can reduce the use of single-use plastics.

Using Drawdown's Job Function Action Guide, I will learn about climate actions I can take at work.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.
