  • Ten Personal Solutions to Global Warming
    • The car you drive: The most important personal climate decision.
    • Make your house more air tight.
    • Buy and USE a programmable thermostat.
    • Eat less meat.
    • and the list goes on.
  • Cooler Smarter Interactive Web Tool
  • Enrolled in yet another course: Behavioural Economics. Right up my alley: “How can we get people to save more money, eat healthy foods and engage in healthy behaviours, and more generally make better choices?”
