Remember the California drought? And we all got so good at taking 5 minute showers? It turns out we were saving electricity as well, because it takes large amounts of electricity to pump water around. I will take one 5 minute shower a day - or skip a shower some days.

I will take a walk for 20 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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 10 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

I will spend 15 minute(s) learning about the climate impact of refrigerants and what climate-friendly refrigerants are by using the links below.

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