HEAT – Expand your comfort zone by turning your heat down 2 degrees Fahrenheit from its normal setting. Continue lowering the heat by 2 degrees every week until you have reduced it by 6 degrees at the end of three weeks. The heat reduction applies for the entire week, not just for your project days. This option is limited to those who have control over their own thermostats and who have cooperative spouses, children or housemates!
2. LEAVE THE CAR AT HOME – Experience the thrill of the outdoors by riding your bike, walking or taking the bus in your daily travels. Hitching a ride with your friends or co-workers does reduce the amount of driving, but is also just too easy, so avoid that option unless there are no other alternatives. You will start with two days and increase the number of car-free days per week by one, until you have four days of bike riding (or whatever) during the last week.
The topic is this: choose the two topics abo describe how these changes could be brought about on a scale larger than one individual. Could a conservation effort like this work on a community, state, or national level? You will need to research conservation efforts that have been used in other communities. Based on your research, give suggestions for how various conservation methods would work and specific ideas for how they could be implemented. You can also include ideas of your own, in addition to ideas that you have researched.
