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

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

Current large hot tub outside is no longer heating up again, and it is 14 years old. We have made the choice to no longer fix it and use after seeing our electric bill. Going to drain the water out of it and investigate how to remove all the parts and where to dispose. This will save us $40 a month on electric bill.

Good sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind. I will prioritize getting 8 hours of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.

Cutting back on refined sugar can improve energy, mood, and overall health. I will limit my intake of sugary snacks and drinks by reducing refined sugar in meals or snacks each day.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 30 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

I will work from home 3 days to avoid my commute's carbon output.

In the process of emptying my Mother's condo to sell it, I am collecting all paper that can be recycled and not thrown in garbage. This will be taken to work and placed in the Iron Mountain lock bins for proper removal\shredding\recycling.

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

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