I will write or call 2 elected official(s) telling them not to support fossil fuel subsidies and instead support wind energy generation.

World Cleanup Day 2021 - are you ready to join in? It's so simple (just 3 steps) and together we can make a huge impact on our environment...here's how 1) Rally some friends, family, colleagues living nearby and help together as a team in person or virtually to cleanup our communities, local streets, rivers, lakes & parks (rubbish is to be found everywhere!). Why not even engage with the local schools & Kindergarten and get the children involved too. 2) Choose the day you wish to run your team activity (our suggestion is Friday 17th Sep) and create your own shift under this activity to log your VTO hrs! 3) Share photos of you & your teams in action, in one or both of the Earthforce Slack channels (add #worldcleanupday2021): #eq-earthforce-germany #eq-earthforce-global Remember to always adhere to local Covid safety regulations!

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

I will visit Tradewater’s website to learn more about carbon offsets, and why they are a necessary solution in combating a climate crisis.

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact neighborhood walkability and express my support for better walking infrastructure.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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 spend at least 60 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will spend 30 minute(s) learning about the climate impact of refrigerants and what climate-friendly refrigerants are by using the links provided

Greenhouse gases found in old refrigerants are up to 10,900 times more potent than carbon dioxide. I will help eliminate these gases through the purchase of offset credits to ensure we all have a planet we can thrive on.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 30 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

Planet Money recently interviewed the co-founders of Tradewater to learn about the dangerous impact that old refrigerants have on our environment. I will listen to the podcast to learn more about this necessary solution in fighting a climate crisis.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will test drive an electric bike at a local distributor to see if it makes sense to use one in place of my car, or to extend the area I can cover by bike.

I will sign up for a Master Recycler/Composter program in my area.

I will set up a recycling center at my workplace or school.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

Mark Benioff recommended it during Lulima during the sustainability discussions . It is a dramatic and beautifully made documentary that clearly outlines visually the red zone we are in across many dimensions of climate change . Fact based with excellent scientific input from Scandinavia

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will avoid buying and using 1 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

I have discovered a new product called Huel which is about making food more efficient while be better for the planet. It is plant based and fully 100% nutritional served as a drink. Im find it is filling and means i dont need to binge on anything in the afternoons. Its convenient for me at lunch times and compliments my overall diet

Individual actions are important, but people and organizations working together can make a real impact. I will share a carbon calculator with a friend and invite them to calculate the carbon footprint of their household.

I will explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.
