As we welcome the new year, we asked our team to share their resolutions for a more sustainable 2025. Here\u2019s what they had to say:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Big Changes at Home<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several employees are tackling large-scale home upgrades to cut energy use and shrink their carbon footprint:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Installing heat pumps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Jono and Deanne are replacing their HVAC systems with heat pumps this spring. These systems not only lower energy bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also offer consistent temperature and humidity control. Bonus: They often qualify for rebates!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Boosting insulation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Karen recently improved insulation throughout her home and expects to save up to 20% on heating and cooling costs. She\u2019s using her Sense system to track the difference compared to last year. Stay tuned\u2014we\u2019ll share her results soon!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Everyday Changes That Add Up<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not every resolution involves a major project. Many of us are focusing on smaller, everyday actions, like grocery shopping habits:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Buying local foods<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>:<\/strong> Reducing the distance food travels helps cut greenhouse gas emissions. Deanne is skipping red meat entirely, while Jono recommends choosing locally sourced meats. For shrimp lovers, Karen is cutting back while Heather suggests opting for sustainable wild Pacific blue shrimp.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reducing plastic waste<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: We\u2019re paying closer attention to packaging. PETE (#1) and HDPE (#2) plastics are the easiest to recycle, so we\u2019re choosing those over less-recyclable plastics (#3\u20137) to ensure our recycling efforts make a real impact.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Inspiration for Your Resolutions<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s a major home improvement or a simple lifestyle tweak, every choice helps build a greener future. What steps will you take this year?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about reducing your energy use with Sense insights. <a href=\"https:\/\/sense.com\/\">Discover how Sense can help \u2192<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From home upgrades to everyday choices, here\u2019s how we\u2019re embracing sustainability in the new year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7169,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"consumer-blog-category":[24,7],"content-type":[13],"featured":[],"class_list":["post-7385","consumer-blog","type-consumer-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","consumer-blog-category-climate-change","consumer-blog-category-energy-usage-tips","content-type-article"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
