| Goal: Install low-flow showerhead(s) |
Installing lower flow showerheads will reduce your household's water consumption. This scenario is based on a typical Park City Household converting its 2.5 gallon per minute (GPM) showerhead(s) to a 2.0 GPM showerhead(s). Lower flow heads are also available. |

| Goal: Jan 10: Ride the bus 1 time each day for 7 days |
Park City & Summit County run an amazing bus system. And it is totally free. Riding the bus once a day this week will be fun and you'll reduce your carbon footprint & reduce traffic. Added benefit: Next time you want to ride the bus, you'll find it easier & you'll know how the bus system works. |

| Goal: Jan 17: Be a vegatarian or vegan for 1 week |
Cow farts create a lot of carbon. Not trying to be gross; just stating the facts. In fact, cows are responsible for about 15% of carbon worldwide. So don't eat meat for one week. No beef, no chicken, no fish. Already vegetarian? Go vegan for a week. |
|
| Goal: Jan 24: Live on 20 gallons of water a day for 1 week |
In the winter, the average person in the US uses 80 gallons of water in a day. According to the US Human Development report, an American taking a five-minute shower uses more water than the typical person living in a developing country slum uses in a whole day. |

|
| Goal: Jan 31: Freecycle-Give away 3 items & receive 1 item given for free |
Freecycling is when someone gives an unwanted item to someone else for free. Freecycling keeps good stuff out of the landfill -- and it helps build a strong community! |
