1. Take vegetarian: Most importantly try avoiding beef. This is what I read:
"Livestock are responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than transportation is. This is due to the large amounts of petroleum used in creating ammonium nitrate fertilizer (for the corn that they are fed) plus the cost of shipping that corn to the cattle and then shipping the cattle to slaughter and grocery. If one eats meat it should always be from a local source. "
2. Recycle more.
3. Use compact fluorescent bulbs
4. Fill the dishwasher/hand wash
5. Use recycled paper
Use any paper to the fullest extent and do not print unless it is absolutely necessary.
6. Buy locally made and locally grown products
7. Buy minimally packaged goods
8. Use a push mower to mow the lawn.
9. Unplug unused electronics
Also, switch off lights after work.
10. Use public transportation.
11. Use your vehicle as a tool against global warming
- Practice green driving. Save gas and lower stress levels by being a considerate driver. Improve fuel efficiency by removing unused external objects such as roof racks, turning off your engine instead of idling for long periods of time (over 1 minute), and removing loads from the trunk/boot that are not necessary.
- Keep your car tires adequately inflated
- Change your air filter.
