Commuting from fremont allows me to save money, time and help the environment

I did a fun one yesterday regarding refrigerants. In the "Industry" section, there's an action called "Find a local climate-friendly supermarket." Remember how refrigerants are one of the very worst contributors of greenhouse gasses? There's an interactive map where you can look at your local grocery stores and see what type of refrigerant they use in their fridge cases (Good, medium, or terrible.) If your grocery store isn't listed, you can add it! The link shows you how to find the sticker with refrigerant info inside the cold case. You take a picture with geolocation enabled, and e-mail it to the map folks. They'll use your photo to add that grocery story to the map.

I did one, and it was easy and I felt like a climate spy! I'm going to be snapping pics at every grocery store I visit going forward! (It was Trader Joe's in Berkeley, and they use R404A refrigerant, which is a very bad one.)

I always take the train to class it is faster, cheaper and environmentally friendly.

I learned from Project Drawdown what a big deal refrigerants are. Here I found there's a map of which grocery stores have switched to climate-friendly refrigerants, which was interesting. And you can sign a petition to get more grocery stores to change. Next, I found instructions on how to "spy" on the refrigerator cases at stores and find a label that says what kind of refrigerants they use. Then you can take a picture and send it to this app, and they will add that store to the map and show whether it's using HFC's or greener refrigerants. That sounds kind of sneaky and fun. I'm going to try to do it!
