I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.
