Energy Independence Month

2007 Action Pledge

I pledge to do my part to reduce my CO2 emissions and make central Oregon a model of energy independence. Over the next year, I will take (or have already taken in 2007) the following actions to make my pledge a reality:

Change Our Transportation Habits:	Estimated CO2 Reduction (in pounds/year)
Yes No Purchase a fuel efficient vehicle(s)(more than 32mpg) or alternative-fueled vehicle(s).	5,600
Yes No Drive less. I will use an alternative to my car -- walking, biking, riding the bus, telecommuting, and/or carpooling -- for at least two trips per week.	1,590

Energy: Use Less and Use Renewable
Yes No Buy 100% renewable energy from my utility.	24,000 (or more)
Yes No Complete a free home energy audit offered by the Energy Trust of Oregon and implement at least two of the recommended conservation measures. Call 1-866-ENTRUST or visit Energy Trust. ( Pacific Power Customers only.)	1,000 (or more)
Yes No Install a solar water heating and/or electrical system on my home.	720 (or more)
Yes No Adjust my thermostat to energy conserving temperatures(68° for heating and 78° for cooling).	500
Yes No Replace the incandescent light bulbs in my home with compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs).	500 (or more)
Yes No When purchasing new appliances and home office equipment, buy only those products with the Energy Star® label.	440 (or more)

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
Yes No Use less stuff and recycle the rest. Identify where I can use less stuff and reuse and recycle more. Apply this rule before I buy more: Use it up, wear it out, make do or do without	850
