Who doesn't want to save $ on energy and reduce waste/pollution? Our story: the Carbon Shredders low-carbon-diet program helped our household reduce our C02 footprint from 35,000 pounds to 10,000 pounds, saving us over $2000 per year on power-bills, transportation and heating costs. Tired of all the "talk"? Well then it's time to realize you can WALK the walk and do your part, while saving money. Take ACTION in your personal lives, and it will trickle into your community. There are many things we can complain about, but nothing is perfect and we ALL have things we can do to improve the world our children will inherit. I challenge everyone in the Changents network to take 20 minutes to join the Changents Carbon Shredders online group/tracker tool and see if you can reduce our COLLECTIVE C02 footprint by 10% by 2010. It's a small step toward a sustainable world, but we have to start somewhere. Just go to www.doyourpartclimate.org/changents_carbon_shredders.php and join the group, put in your data, and make some easy pledges to reduce your footprint and save $!
