I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

Reduce your carbon emissions and environmental impact by only using green transport! - Public transportation: buses, LINK, ferries - Electric cars - Walking/running - biking/e-biking - velomobiles

Stop contributing to the environmental destruction and human rights violations caused by consumerism - pledge to buy only USED products! You can find these at stores/venues like: - eBAY, Craigslist, Swappa, Gazelle - Goodwill, thrift stores - yard sales

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.
