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.

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

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

I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will watch 2 documentaries about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about local or national energy issues that will be on the voting ballot this fall.

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 spend 30 minutes listening to a podcast about food.

I will shop at a farmers market or food co-op to support local farmers and businesses. By doing so, I may be able to learn more about who produces the food I eat and goods I buy.

I will spend 20 about food apartheid and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.
