1. Reduce home energy by 10%

I rent an apartment, but keep a close eye on the thermostat.

2. Eat meat-free meals once a week

Don't eat meat at all.

3. Buy a fuel efficient, low-polluting car

Got rid of my pickup last year, my next vehicle will be a smaller 2 door car.

4. Choose an energy efficient home and appliances

Definitely, when I'm in the market.

5. Stop using pesticides

Don't really use any.

6. Walk, bike or take transit to regular destinations

I walk 15 mins and take the bus to get to work. I get my workout done by runnign hoem at teh end of the day.

7. Prepare your meals with locally produced food

Have to think about that, I do shop at Community Foods, a lot of their stock comes from Western Canada.

8. Choose a home close to regular destinations

No doubt, commuting 1 hour to work each way is my idea of hell. I'd rather continue rentign than live in the suberbs.

9. Support alternatives to the car

Well, I ride a motorbike in the Summer. Burns much less fuel than a car.

10. Get involved, stay informed

Trying to.
