Julie Smith

I spend 30 minutes analyzing my recent utility bills, which might include electricity, gas, or water to see what my current usage is and determine if I can reduce my energy and water use.

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

I will watch 2 documentaries about climate change.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

I will contact my energy company to find out how to sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

Using Seafood Watch's list, I will enjoy 1 sustainable seafood meals each day.

On average, a tree absorbs 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of carbon dioxide yearly during the first 20 years. To do my part, I will plant 5 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.
