To take the Ten Percent Challenge in any other Hudson Valley community, stay right here. This site helps you to estimate the carbon footprint of your electricity, home heating and transportation fuel use as the basic elements in your carbon footprint. Like a weight loss program, getting on the scales is the first important step! We have partnered with My Energy Plan to bring you a simple tool for estimating current energy use and choosing specific actions to reduce it. You'll just need your energy bills and best estimate of travel mileage, and a few minutes to think it through.

Step 1. Please register confidentially here.

Step 2. Use this Personal Energy Planner to estimate your energy use and make your plan. Be sure to select "Hudson Valley 10% Challenge" in the "LINKING YOUR HOUSEHOLD TO OTHER HOUSEHOLDS IN YOUR COMMUNITY:" section of the personal energy planner form!

Thanks!
