Participate in the Green Challenge

A little greener for a little longer. According to the end survey, apparently the tweaks I’ve made in my daily routines will reduce my yearly CO2 emissions by about 48 percent. And I, quite honestly, only made a few adustments - mostly to do with taking public transport more and turning down my thermastat at night - you know, when you’re asleep and it doesn’t really matter.

Slate’s paired up with Treehugger.com to run an eight week challenge aimed at reducing the amount of CO2 emmitted in the U.S. After taking a quiz to determine your annual emmission of CO2 (Mine’s 20,481.2—which is apparently the same as two cars) you start the challenge.
