I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in creating or purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

I will research and tell 2 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of micro wind.

I will spend at least 5 minutes researching other Drawdown Electricity Solutions.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water a day or 270 (1,020 L) gallons of water a month per faucet.

I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

Installed Spray Foam Insulation in my home (basement/crawl space, attic/roof). Drastically increases both heating and cooling efficiency with many benefits.

Organizations have a responsibility to make sustainable business decisions. To understand how to improve sustainable practices, it’s important to start with understanding the current impact. I will share the Tradewater Business Carbon Calculator with my organization.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.
