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

I will spend 10 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 calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.

I will watch 1 documentaries about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will replace 24 minutes each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

What suggestions do you have for NW Natural to save energy in the way we operate our facilities and our vehicles? Have you observed any energy wasting equipment or behaviors at work?
