CLIMATE PLEDGE



CLIMATE PLEDGE


Drawdown LA asks that you sign our climate pledge to reduce your personal carbon footprint by 50% this year. If you commit to making permanent change to 3 of the 5 items below, you will reduce your carbon impact by 50%.

  • 1. PLANT RICH DIET

    I pledge to eat a PLANT RICH DIET  5 out of 7 days per week. By eating a plant-based diet , this will reduce my carbon footprint by 1/3. 


  • 2. COMPOST MY FOOD WASTE

    I pledge to compost 75-100% of my food waste. This will require having a compost system at home and at work/school. One solution is to have a community compost system at work/school, and in your neighborhood if you don't already have your own. 

  • 3. RIDE/WALK/PUBLIC TRANSPORT

    I pledge to walk, ride my bike, carpool or use public trasport 75% of the time. This requires planning the best way to go places, coordinating carpools and sometimes choosing to walk. This will reduce my carbon footprint by 1/3

  • 4. STOP SINGLE USE PLASTICS

    I pledge to refuse to use single-use plastics as they are made of fossil fuel. This requires that I refuse drinks in plastic containers, refuse plastic straws and bring my own containers for leftovers when going out to eat. This solution requires some daily planning and to have reusable containers on hand and in my car. This solution will reduce my carbon footprint by 1/4. 

  • 5. OFF-SET MY AIR TRAVEL

    I pledge to off-set my air travel emissions by planting 1 tree for each 50 miles traveled. (500 miles = 50 trees) I can do this by using the search engine Ecosia (40 searches = 1 tree planted), planting them myself, or paying #Teamtrees $1 per tree. This solution reduces my carbon footprint by 1/4.
