5 ways I plan to enrich my life.

One-Time:
  • - Replace incandescent light bulbs with compact florescent bulbs in my apartment.
  • - Install a low-flow shower head.

Recurring:
  • - Turn lights off when leaving the house.
  • - Take the stairs at school instead of the elevator.
  • - Turn thermostat down to 60 when leaving the house.
  • - Wash laundry in cold water.
These were chosen in hope to reduce my energy/water consumption which will lower my services and residence sections from my footprint. I also plan to drive less and combine trips when possible to lessen my fossil fuel use.

    Kalen -- please make your commitments more specific. What temperature will you turn your thermostat down to? Your combining trips goal is too vague, choose another one where you can be more specific, e.g., walk to school instead of drive 3 days a week. Also, I asked for a short "reflection" re your footprint. What was your biggest category? Were you surprised by the size of your footprint? Do your goals have anything to do with which category of your footprint was the largest? 40/50
