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.

I will replace 65 minutes of screen time each day with other activities.

I will work from home 5 days to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units with energy saving units.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.
