One of the main reasons why so many of us have not taken concrete action to reduce our climate impact is that we do not know where to begin. The magnitude of the problem seems so daunting that we just throw up our hands in frustration. Well, we have good news. The Climate Diet provides a quick and easy way for us to tackle our energy use ‘demons’ and wasteful practices one step at a time. When you remodel your house/apartment, do you do everything that needs to be done all at once? No. Most of us take a room by room approach. That is what we are asking you to do. The Climate Diet helps you break down your lifestyle choices into manageable chunks, starting with your own bedroom (or wherever you want to start). The Climate Diet helps you to analyze each room one at a time, identifies common problems, and makes concrete suggestions on how to reduce its carbon footprint. It also analyzes structure-wide issues such as central heating, cooling, insulation and water use.

Here is a list of the rooms or “zones” covered in The Climate Diet:
*The bedrooms
*The home office
*The living/dining room
*The kitchen
*The bathrooms
*The laundry/utility room
*Heating and cooling systems
*Managing outside spaces

Do you want to know how reducing use of miscellaneous appliances or purchasing a more energy efficient refrigerator or heating system will affect your carbon footprint? The Climate Diet can help. It includes detailed energy and emissions data on more than 150 appliances, products and services.
