Catalyzing a Mass Movement for Net Zero
SIGN THE PLEDGE, JOIN THE MOVEMENT
Global warming is real.
We –humanity– are causing it.
Our greenhouse gasses have heated the planet by 3° Fahrenheit so far.
This increase has already caused catastrophic storms, wildfires, famines, extinctions and other disasters.
And we keep dumping 55 Billion Metric Tons of CO2e into the air each year.
But We As Individuals Have the Power to Change This.
You can make sure your own carbon footprint is Net Zero by . . .
Reducing What You Can
Repairing the Rest
And when many of us do it together, it will both decrease greenhouse gasses and increase pressure on the special interests that are wrecking our planet.
How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
In America, the average person’s carbon footprint is about 20 metric tons/year of CO2e. You can calculate your own carbon footprint at
8 Billion Trees and Terrapass.
Here are some easy things you can do to start to reduce that both in your household and personally:
1.1 Tons
Air-dry your clothes
~2 tons
If your utility has this option, avoid fossil-fuel sources of your grid-based electricity
0.7 tons
Recycle paper, glass, and cans
2.4 tons
Eat one pound less of beef each week
0.3 tons
Turn the water heater down to 120 degrees F
0.2 tons
Do laundry with cold water
0.4 tons
Compost food waste
~1.5 tons
Drive 100 miles less each week
0.3 tons
Buy only second-hand clothes
0.2 tons
Fly 1000 miles less each year
How to Repair The Rest
Even after reducing your carbon footprint as much as you can, probably a lot of it will still remain. It’s unavoidable. We can’t help it. We’re all part of the carbon economy.
But you can REPAIR what’s left of your carbon footprint by supporting organizations that are pulling greenhouse gasses back out of the sky, and preventing them in the first place:
