TIPS TO BE GREEN
We know you’ve heard most or all of these before, but it never hurts to be reminded. These are all simple measures that you can take to make a difference.
#1
Encourage a friend to make positive changes in their life to live greener and reduce their carbon footprint.
#2
When shopping, purchase products with little or no packaging.
#3
Cool the globe, plant a tree. CLICK HERE for a how-to.
#4
Adjust your thermostat 2˚ lower in winter and 2˚ higher in summer to save energy and lower your bills.
#5
Eating leftovers rather than throwing them away will prevent them from going into a landfill and producing methane.
#6
Hang your clothes to air-dry rather than using a dryer to save energy.
#7
Rather than throwing away your old clothes and electrical appliances, donate them to somebody who might need them.
#8
Wash fruit and vegetables in a bowl of water rather than letting the tap run, then use the remaining water to water your plants.
#9
Wash your clothes in cold water, only do laundry when you have a full load to save water and energy.
#10
When planning your next vacation: take a bus or train instead of plane.
#11
Ride your bike or walk on as many short-distance trips as possible.
#12
Turn off the air conditioning while driving your car (roll down the windows) to help you save gas and reduce carbon emissions. Do not preheat the car when it’s cold, just start driving.
#13
Use a canvas bag for your grocery shopping rather than paper or plastic bags.
#14
Start your own kitchen garden by planting herbs in reused pots or jars. The plants will reduce carbon emissions and reusing the container means less waste.
#15
When leaving a room turn off the lights and shut down electrical appliances when you don’t need them.
#16
Turn off the water while brushing your teeth. A running tap will waste over 1 ½ gallons of water per minute.
