Using Drawdown's Job Function Action Guide, I will learn about climate actions I can take at work.

I will practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

I will contact the fossil fuel companies that supply energy in my community and ask how they manage and reduce methane leakage.

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 sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option. If my utility does not offer one, I will purchase Renewable Energy Credits to match my usage.

Through social media (LinkedIn or Instagram), I will share what I've learned about Electricity Generation and tag Ecochallenge.org.
