You hear all the time about global warming. You see the storms, flood, droughts, climate change. You know the problem. You want to fix it. So read these practical tips. You can make a small difference every day. You may be doing two or three or one already. So do one more, or two... every day of your life. And encourage others.

Change a light


Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light saves 150 pounds of carbon dioxide per year

Drive less


Walk, bike, carpool or take metro transit more often. You’ll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don’t drive.


Recycle more


You can save 2400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste

Check your tires


Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere!

Use less hot water


It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing low-flow showerhead (350 pounds of carbon dioxide saved per year) and wash your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year)

Avoid products with a lot of packaging


You can save 1200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%.

Adjust your thermostat


Moving your thermostat down just 2 degrees in the winter and up 2 degrees in the summer could save about 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

Plant a tree


A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.

Turn off electric devices


Simply turning off (not leaving them in stand by mode) your television, DVD player, stereo, and computer when you’re not using them will save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
