Summer is the perfect time to consciously make changes in our lives to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which cause climate change. Warmer weather and longer days offer a great opportunity to reduce our carbon footprint by taking small steps that make a big difference.

Take the Summer Carbon Slimdown pledge, then share it with your friends!

The Summer Carbon Slimdown Pledge

I will measure my carbon footprint and will take one or more of the following actions to reduce it:

- I will go meatless twice a week for the entire summer.
- I will adjust my thermostat up by 2 degrees for the entire summer.
- I will walk, bike, take public transportation or carpool to work 1 day each week this summer.
- I will wash my laundry in cold water and line dry at least 1/2 of it all summer.
- I will go Zero Waste for one month.
