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

I will research and tell 1 people each day about the benefits of alternative energy sources like wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal energy, and methane digesters.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

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

I will plant 2 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

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

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
