efficiently, self - feeding skills, and tolerating a variety
of sensory experiences related to eating.

of CO2e); cutting the time spent idling in a vehicle in half (40 million metric tons
of CO2e); better insulation at home (85 million metric tons
of CO2e); programmable thermostats set higher (80 million metric tons
of CO2e); reducing electricity demand from appliances that are «off,» so - called phantom demand (70 million metric tons CO2e); using hot water more
efficiently, such as washing clothes in colder water (65 million metric tons
of CO2e); buying EnergyStar appliances when old ones wear
