Missions

Local missions are things you can do where you live — in Columbus that means your own street, shoreline or school. Global missions add up across every arena on the network.

21-Day Standby Shutdown

Every night, switch off lights in empty rooms and kill standby power on TVs, consoles and chargers. Check in before bed.

+0.1 kg CO₂e per check-in

Standby and lighting waste is ~0.3 kWh per household per evening; at the US grid average of ~0.37 kg CO₂ per kWh (EPA eGRID) that is ~0.1 kg.

10-Day One-Degree Challenge

Set heating one degree lower or cooling one degree higher than usual for ten days. Check in daily.

+0.3 kg CO₂e per check-in

One degree of thermostat change saves roughly 1 to 3% of heating or cooling energy, about 1 kWh-equivalent a day for a typical home, or ~0.3 kg CO₂e (IEA, US DOE).

Tools that feed these missions

How we count, and what we don't claim

Check-ins are self-reported and shown as logged. Proof missions are reviewed by a person before they count as verified. Each per-action figure is a conservative public estimate (EPA, IEA, UN Environment or peer-reviewed sources named on the card), rounded down. These numbers are for keeping score and staying honest, not for carbon accounting or offsets. If you think a figure is wrong, say so on the contact form and we will fix it in public.
