Start Your Morning With Low-Carbon Habits
Shorter, smarter showers
Time your shower with a three-song playlist, nudge the temperature slightly lower, and install a low-flow showerhead. You’ll save hot water and energy daily. Comment with your favorite “shower timer” song that keeps you on track.
Walk or bike short distances
For errands under two miles, choose your feet or a bike. Fresh air, extra steps, fewer tailpipe emissions. Share your safest neighborhood route and any tiny gear that makes active commuting easier every day.
Transit and carpooling hacks
Load your transit card the night before, set a flexible schedule, and coordinate rides with coworkers. One fuller vehicle beats four half-empty ones. Comment with your favorite carpool story or bus reading list for inspiration.
If you must drive, drive efficiently
Check tire pressure monthly, accelerate gently, and combine errands into one loop. Remove roof racks when unused to reduce drag. Post your most efficient driving tip and help someone else save fuel today.
Easy Energy Wins at Home
Lower heat slightly in winter, raise cooling a notch in summer, and reach for socks or a light sweater. A two-degree change matters. Tell us your coziest low-energy layer and inspire someone to try it tonight.
Easy Energy Wins at Home
Electronics sip electricity even when “off.” Plug devices into a switchable power strip and flip it after use. Chargers, game consoles, and TV gear are prime suspects. Share your before-after routine with our readers.
Plant-forward meals a few times a week
Swap meat for beans, lentils, or tofu in your favorite recipes. Try taco nights with spiced beans or veggie stir-fries. Share your go-to plant-forward dish, and we’ll feature community favorites in our next roundup.
Love your leftovers
Plan cook-once, eat-twice meals. Store leftovers in clear containers so you actually see them. Friday fridge cleanouts become creative lunches. Tell us your top leftover remix to avoid food waste and save money.
