But first, reduce.

Our guide is coming soon- for now take these simple actions starting today

 
 
 

Around the home

  • sign up for renewable energy with your provider- most now have this option

  • turn off the heat dry function on your dishwasher

  • set your clothes washer to use cold water

  • turn off electronics at night

 

On the road

  • book direct flights and pack lighter for your trips

  • stay on top of car maintenance to get max mpg- tire pressure, oil changes and air filters

  • don’t idle when waiting

  • choose Lyft for your ride

 
 

At work

  • reconsider travel needs- leverage Skype, Zoom, Blue Jeans and other platforms

  • convince your boss and team that working from home a couple days a week is healthy for everyone

  • measure / lower food waste from team meetings

 

Consuming

  • buy truly local produce when possible- closer is better

  • choose brands taking climate action- like Patagonia, AllBirds, Dr. Bronners, The Body Shop, Alter Eco, Ella’s Kitchen, Organic Basics

  • choose slower shipping and decrease returns
