I did an energy audit at home. I changed my front porch light to a timer and my lamps downstairs. I changed out bulbs in my chandelier

After conducting a waste audit, I was able to identify the main sources of waste in my household and develop a plan to reduce it

Restructuring my trip to avoid air travel was definitely a bit challenging, but it was worth it to reduce my carbon footprint. Instead of flying, I opted for an alternative mode of transportation, which was driving. I hate flying anyway.

To catch the release of microplastics in my laundry, I started by using a laundry bag designed to capture microfibers. I also switched to using a liquid laundry detergent instead of powder, as it tends to produce fewer microplastics. Additionally, I tried to wash my clothes at lower temperatures and with shorter wash cycles to reduce the amount of agitation that could release microfibers.
