Change Starts with You

Here are just a few of the many green actions you can easily do to change your impact on the earth. At the bottom of this page you can take our FutureSeaLevel pledge to change your actions and help improve your carbon calculator score.

  • Move your heater thermostat down two degrees in winter and up two degrees in the summer. This would save 2000 lbs of carbon dioxide and $98 per year.
  • Replace three frequently used light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs and save 300 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $60 per year.
  • Since showers account for 2/3 of all water heating costs, you can save 350 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $99 per year by taking shorter showers.
  • Buying minimal packaged goods could reduce your garbage by about 10%, save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide per year, and save you $1,000 per year.
  • Instead of turning up the heat in your home, wear more clothes and save 1,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $250 per year.
  • Shut off your computer when not in use, and save 200 lbs of C02. You can also conserve energy by using your computer's "sleep mode" instead of a screensaver.

The pledge will ask you to choose from a variety of actions that will help reduce your impact. After 30-days, you will be sent a reminder e-mail to re-test your carbon footprint to see how much you have improved
