Kara Batdorff

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.
