*Month 10: Advanced Home Improvements
If you did solar in M5, add battery storage
If not, consider heat pump for heating/cooling (3-4x more efficient than traditional HVAC)
Upgrade windows if budget allows
These are the big-ticket items, but tax credits and energy savings make them increasingly attractive
*Month 11: Community Action
Start a climate action group in your neighborhood
Organize a "green homes tour" to showcase retrofits
Create bulk-buying cooperative for solar installations (group discounts)

*Month 7: Consumption Audit
Track every purchase for one month
For each item: Did I need this? Will I use it 30+ times? Can I buy it used?
Implement "30-day rule" for non-essential purchases (wait 30 days; if still want it, buy it)
Outcome: Most people reduce consumption 30-50% and report higher satisfaction
*Month 8: Wardrobe Revolution
Inventory clothing. Most people wear 20% of their wardrobe 80% of the time
Commit to buying only secondhand for 6 months (or buy-it-for-life quality items)
Learn basic repairs (sewing a button = $0 vs. replacing shirt = $30-100)
Fashion industry = 10% of global emissions. Your choices matter.
