Julia's actions
Transportation
Stay on the Ground
Do at Home
Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
Water
Fix Leaky Faucets
Do at Home
I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.
Water
Conserve Toilet Water
Do at Home
I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.
Water
5-Minute Showers
Do at Home
I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
Energy
Adjust the Thermostat
Do at Home
I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.
Water
Ditch the Lawn
Do at Home
I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.
Energy
Turn It Off
Do at Home
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
Water
Say No to Plastic Straws
Do at Home
An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
