Pursuant to my Cap comic this year, I'm trying to think of some things I can do to normalize climate-saving behavior and also bring it into the workplace.

- embed normalized descriptions into fanfics (people bringing reusable cups into the coffeeshop au, putting a hard limit of 5 minutes on that shower scene, Steve being appalled by all the stuff that gets thrown away, etc)

- I just sorted all of my tupperware, and found some containers that are the right size for getting take-out from nearby restaurants. I won't be able to call ahead, but I can afford the 15 minute wait

- I'm going to get Hoosband to bring some of these containers to his work -- a lot of people there get take-out lunches nearby, and maybe they can use these containers instead of getting a new one every time (I'll make some "Reusable, don't throw away!" stickers to put on them)

- I'm going to bring some spare reusable cups whenever I go to the comics meetup, so that other people in our group can use it to buy boba

- I should look at the cost of getting an electrical outlet out to my parking space in our complex so that I can plug in the car. If our HOA won't do it, maybe I can.

- I should look to see if Vanguard has funds that are clearly non-fossil-fuels. And if not -- maybe ask them??

- Schedule a talk with Powers That Be at work about:
---- at the very least, buying carbon offsets for all trips
---- using actually compostable cups instead of the "biodegradable" stuff that isn't actually compostable, or, better yet, not having them at all, and instead have a bunch of reusable cups and mugs
---- making sure that the school is divested from fossil fuels
---- adding more electrical chargers / outlets in the garage
---- getting the kids to take Meatless Mondays seriously (and offer up actually tasty non-meat foods)
---- a better system for reusing printed paper (maybe as scratch paper or art paper for the elementary school kids? Or maybe have a printer that is just paper that's only been printed on one side?)

- Get Hoosband to talk to his work about:
---- having the company mandate 1 work-from-home day per week to reduce transit-related emissions
---- giving either a time or monetary subsidy for people who take public transit to work (less hours at work or more $$)
---- getting their Friday lunch catering in a more sustainable format
