I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will spend at least 45 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will contact the fossil fuel companies that supply energy in my community and ask how they manage and reduce methane leakage.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will avoid buying and using 1 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.

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

Through social media (LinkedIn or Instagram), I will share what I've learned about Industry Solutions and tag Ecochallenge.org.

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 explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.

I will plan ahead to use paper products only made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.
