00.2 About the Checklist

The checklist is a step-by-step guide to comprehensively reducing your carbon footprint now. It’s a cut-and-paste job, compiled by Ken Levenson.

It is hoped that people will download the checklist, copy it, edit it for their local conditions, and make it their own.

Sensing many want to start fighting climate change, yet aren’t sure what the options are – a Park Slope Civic Council forum on sustainability provided the deadline to make the initial checklist.

Launched in February 2008, the checklist was fine-tuned with the help of many. To acknowledge a few: Eric McClure’s proofreading/editing, Ellen Honigstock’s springboard of initial sustainability lists, and my wife Katherine’s essential support.

Ken Levenson is a principal in Levenson McDavid Architects P.C., and a concerned father, living in Brooklyn.
