Faye's actions
Energy
Turn Off Lights and Electronics
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
Energy
Switch To Cold Water for Laundry
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.
Food
Enjoy a Meatless Meal
Producing 1 kg of beef emits as much greenhouse gas as driving 150 miles, meanwhile, 1 kg of veggies or grains leaves a much lighter footprint! This week, I’ll shrink my climate impact by having 1 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day.
Simplicity
Replace Screen Time with Other Activities
I will replace 65 minutes of screen time each day with other activities.
Transportation
Work From Home to Reduce Commuting
I will work from home 5 days to avoid my commute's carbon output.
Health
Prioritize Getting Enough Sleep
Good sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind. I will prioritize getting 90 hours of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.
Waste
Find Local Recycling Depots
I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.
Water
Take 5-Minute Showers
I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
Energy
Upgrade Heating and Cooling Units
I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units with energy saving units.
Energy
Choose Clean or Renewable Energy
I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.
Energy
Choose LED Bulbs
I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

Faye Thygeson 10/21/2025 10:19 AMCorvallis has a number of renewable energy resources but there are also landfill gases which can affect our environment, to help this we could look more at solar panels and other renewable resources! -
