2. Lighten up: Use energy efficient light bulbs like these.
3. One click for man, one giant leap for the planet. Adjust your thermostat up one degree in the summer and down one in the winter to drastically reduce emissions.
4. Use your off switch. Turn off electronic devices, lights, and appliances when you are not using them.
5. Get dirty. Plant a tree. Don’t have a green thumb? That’s no excuse. Here’s how.
6. Take your foot off the gas. Carpooling and using public transportation reduces emissions and is cost effective. Find a carpool near you.
7. Out with the old, in with the new. Replace old appliances with energy efficient ones. There are many to choose from and they’re not too pricey.
8. Go local. Farmers markets and independent stores are less likely to ship products or use harmful pesticides. You use less gas shopping locally too!
9. Organic is your friend. Don’t be afraid to try organic products. They taste, feel, and smell the same but they are natural instead of processed. Price differences are minimal but the nutritional benefits are massive.
10. And this little baggie went to market… Bring your own bags to the market. An average American family acquires 60 plastic bags per week and rarely reuses them. Try ECOBAGS® Shopping System or Classic String Bag and help us save the planet, one bag at a time.
