You should turn off ANY lights that you have that are on so that you can save energy for when you need it and installing solar pannels.

lyla's actions
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Waste
Choose Two-Sided Printing
I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.
Energy
Power Down the Computer
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.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteHow could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?
lyla tavares 10/04/2018 1:57 PMInstead of of throwing away a shirt with a hole in it I could make a dog toy out of the shirt and give it to my dog or another dog. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteChoosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?
lyla tavares 10/04/2018 1:56 PMI could show people how to do the same and I think it should be encouraged for everyone because you are saving a lot of trees. -
lyla tavares 10/04/2018 1:48 PMI also haven't used any straws even though I could've used one this morning. :) -
