i can afford to be less selfish

my hero David Suzuki has made a list of 10 things we can all do to improve our home. and shoot! are they ever easy. all he asks is that we take on THREE over the next year. i am publicly committing to the following ::

1. Reduce home energy use by 10%: A more energy-efficient home will lower your utility bills and reduce your impact on the environment. Heating accounts for nearly 60 per cent of energy use in the average Canadian home.
2. Eat meat-free meals one day a week: The production and processing of grains requires far less water and land than does meat.
3. Buy locally grown and produced food: Buying locally reduces greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants from food transportation. One study estimates that the average meal travels 2400 km (1500 miles) from the field to your table.

let me know which three you choose.
