Once you have an idea of your target carbon emission reductions, (How Much?) you can estimate what activities it will take to meet your target.
Below are four tables (Gina's Tables) that give estimates of the emissions of different activities or the emission reductions from different activities. Go through the list and pick which ones you want to do. Keep adding activities until you reach your target. If you don't make it, that is fine. Commit what you can.
Example: Target=3 kg/day
I will quit drinking my canned beverage each day. 0.17 kg/day
I will buy 10 less items of clothing this year. = 0.7 kg/day
I will drive 5 miles less per day in my gas vehicle = 1.8 kg/day
Next: Add these reductions 0.17 + 0.7 + 1.8 to get a total commitment of 2.67 kg/day. The next step would be to scroll down to the form below, add your zip code and your commitment of 2.67
Remember these are just estimates, the proof is when you tally your energy bills at the end of the year or end of the month. How much gasoline, electricity, and natural gas did you use in 2026 vs 2025, or this month vs last.
Commit to Climate
Here is where you make that commitment or pledge to help slow climate change. Do not take this commitment lightly.
We are not collecting emails or money. We only need your zip code and the annual amount of your pledge (kg/year). We will track the pledge totals and someday post a map of where the commitments are coming from.
Pledge to Climate Now!!
My Commitment
This Tally will be updated weekly until we find a way to make it automatic :) We also plan to have a map showing where the commitments are coming from!
