Climate Action Checklists

We created checklists to help you adopt sustainable habits and make environmentally conscious choices that can also save you money. These lists highlight climate actions, all focused on a different theme, along with their cost up front and yearly savings in both money and carbon emissions. Plus, links to incentives and resources to make taking actions cheaper and easier! Translated versions of these checklists can be found on our Translated Resources webpage.

Personal Climate Action and Resilience

Electric-Powered Lawn Equipment

Gas-powered lawn equipment - such as leaf blowers, lawn mowers, and other devices used to clear debris and maintain landscaping - has negative impacts on the environment and poses an immediate and quantifiable risk to our health. County facilities are making the switch to electric powered lawn equipment. Will you join us?
