Commitment to Sustainability

I believe global warming is a reality, and I believe that it's largely due to human-made carbon emissions. I also believe that one person can make a difference, both at home and at work. To this end, I have worked to reduce my personal carbon footprint in the following ways:

• I use eco-friendly light bulbs wherever possible
• I use a laptop computer rather than a desktop
• I do most of my work on-screen, reducing my paper output substantially
• I use electronic forms whenever possible
• I recycle everything possible, including paper and printer cartridges
• I use public transportation and and walk whenever possible. I don't drive or fly
• My workspace is positioned to use natural lighting as much as possible
• I purchase recycled goods whenever possible
• In my home, I use energy-efficient appliances. My windows are all covered by storm windows, and my attic is well insulated
