- Turn off your tap while you're brushing your teeth, you're doing something good. Got a leaky toilet? You might be wasting 200 gallons of water a day . Try drinking tap water instead of bottled water,you aren't wasting all that packaging as well.If you use bottled water,recycle the bottle.
- Leave your car at home. If you can stay off the road just two days a week, you'll reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 1,590 pounds per year . Combine your errands -- hit the post office,grocery store and shoe repair place in one trip. It will save you gas and time.
- Walk or ride your bike to work, school and anywhere you can. You can reduce greenhouse gases while burning some calories and improving your health. If you can't walk or bike, use mass transit or car pool. Every car not on the road makes a difference.
- You can help reduce pollution just by putting that soda can in a different bin. If you're trying to choose betweentwo products, pick the one with the least packaging. If an office building of 7,000 workers recycled all of its office paper waste for a year, it would be the equivalent of taking almost 400 carsoff the road.
- Think about how much trash you makein a year. Reducing the amount of solid waste you produce in a year means taking up less space in landfills, so the amonunt you pay for taxcan work somewhere else. Plus, compost makes a great natural fertilizer. Composting is easier than you think.
Go Green!
