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 replace 4 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will walk to my classes and avoid using the public transport that creates carbon dioxide emissions. My goal is to reduce the the amount of carbon the campus’ transportation system produces, even if its by a little. I chose this action as it was easily doable and helps contribute to both my health and the Earth’s health.

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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 3 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
