I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I’ll take a short pre-survey to share what motivated me to join — and earn 15 points! (If I already took the survey by email, I’ll just mark this action complete to get my points.)

I will spend 5 minutes reading the Ecochallenge feed each day and giving high fives or commenting on posts by people who I don't know, but whose content inspires or interests me.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about constructive communication.

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out what local laws, policies, and practices keep people from voting in my community.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

Knowing our carbon footprint is the first step to reducing it. I will calculate my carbon impact and identify lifestyle changes that could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment. I will share my commitments to lowering my impact on the feed.
