Organizations have a responsibility to make sustainable business decisions. To understand how to improve sustainable practices, it’s important to start with understanding the current impact. I will share the Tradewater Business Carbon Calculator with my organization.

I will calculate my Water Footprint to learn about my tap water use and "virtual water" use.

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 keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

Individual actions are important, but people and organizations working together can make a real impact. I will share a carbon calculator with a friend and invite them to calculate the carbon footprint of their household.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

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

I will learn about and update the power saving settings on my computer to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emission

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 120 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
