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.)

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.

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day.
