A new year is often a time of resolutions to change some aspect of our life. Perhaps this is the year you decide that a “Green” resolution is in order! Well, if that’s the case, the Green Team has you covered. Here are some ‘nudges’ to help motivate you to a greener 2024.
Resolve to use less plastic: If you’re like many of us, you are dismayed by the amount of plastic you bring home after a shopping trip. There are many ways you can start reducing the plastic in your life, a few suggestions can be found in our Green Team webpage: Reduce plastic.
Resolve to electrify your lifestyle: Many of us are considering upgrading to electrical appliances (induction stoves, heat pumps, etc.), or installing solar panels, or buying an electric car. There are literally thousands of incentive dollars available in 2024 to do just that. (Federal Department of Energy Frequently asked Questions).
Resolve to lower your Carbon Footprint: Perhaps you don’t know exactly where to start? Use this handy Carbon Footprint Calculator to calculate your current Carbon Footprint, then change a few data points and see how much it changes your “footprint”. For example, even changing your eating habits (e.g. reducing animal protein) can have a significant effect. Calculate your Carbon Footprint.
