Offsetting C02 One Challenge, One Pound at a Time
Posted by tata on Friday Aug 15, 2008 Under GreenMy badge over at Carbonrally states that I have offset 505 lbs since I joined on June 21, 2008. I’m thrilled! It feels good to pay attention to my consumption and do my part to reduce waste. Here are the challenges in which I am participating:
- Bringing my own bags while grocery shopping. If you haven’t done this yet, you should do something drastic and cut the plastic!
- Power Shower - knocking 2 minutes off a daily shower.
- Giving my computer a rest - turning it off and unplugging it at night.
- Stop the Idle Threat - turning off the car instead of idling for long periods.
- Top off Tires - topping off the tires once per month.
- Lowrider - driving a bit slower (55mph max).
- Air out your fridge - cleaning the coils on the refrigerator.
- Right now, less cow - pledging to go meat-free twice per week.
- Change a few bulbs - switching to CFL bulbs.
- Kick the catalogs - reducing the catalogs in the mailbox by 75%.
I’m feeling good about Saving the World and Going Green(er). What are you doing to reduce your waste and watch your consumption?
