Climate Action Team Training Series:
Low-Energy Behaviors 101:
Save Money and Reduce Your Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a priority as we face the compelling challenges of climate change, dependence on foreign oil, air pollution, and leading in the clean and efficient energy revolution.
But as individuals, what can we do? A great first step that is simple, free, and has an immediate impact is simply changing our everyday behavior to adopt low-energy practices. The Loma Prieta Chapter's Climate Action Team (CAT) training series can help.
45 CAT training participants prevented 11,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere in only 2 months!
How Do I Start?
