Drive Smart!
A welltuned car with properly inflated tires burns less gasoline—cutting pollution and saving your money at the pump. If you have two cars, drive the one with better gas mileage whenever possible.Better yet, skip the drive and take public transit, walk, or bicycle when you can.
Support clean, renewable energy.
Renewable energy solutions, such as wind and solar power, can reduce our reliance on coalburning
power plants, the largest source of global warming pollution in the United States. Call
your local utility and sign up for renewable energy. If they don't offer it, ask them why not?
Replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs.
Especially those that burn the longest each day. Compact fluorescents produce the same amount of light as normal bulbs, but use about a quarter of the electricity and last ten times as long. Each switch you make helps clean the air today, curb globalwarming, and save you money on your electricity bill.
Saving energy at home is good for the environment and for your wallet.
Start with caulking and weatherstrippingon doorways and windows. Then
adjust your thermostat and start saving. For each degree you lower your
thermostat in the winter, you can cut your energy bills by 3 percent. Finally, ask yourutility company to do a free energy audit of your home to show you how to save even more money.
Become a smart water consumer.
Install lowflow
showerheads and faucets and you'll use half the water without
decreasing performance. Then turn your hot water heater down to 120°F and see hotwater costs go down by as much as 50 percent.
Buy energyefficient electronics and appliances.
Replacing an old refrigerator or an air conditioner with an energyefficient
model will save you money on your electricity bill and cut global warming pollution. Look for the Energy Star label on new appliances or visit their website at Home : ENERGY STAR to find the most energyefficient products.
Plant a Tree, protect a forest.
Protecting forests is a big step on the road to curbing global warming. Trees
"breathe in" carbon dioxide, but slashandburn farming practices, intensive
livestock production, and logging have destroyed 90 percent of the native forests in the United States. And you can take action in your own backyard — planting shade trees around your house will absorb CO2, and slash your summer airconditioning bills.
Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!
Producing new paper, glass, and metal products from recycled materials saves 70 to90 percent of the energy and pollution, including CO2, that would result if theproduct came from virgin materials. Recycling a stack of newspapers only 4 feet high will save a goodsized tree. Please...buy recycled products!
Mount a local campaign against global warming.
Educate your community about how it can cut global warming pollution. Support measures at
the national, state, and local level that:
· Make automobiles go further on a gallon of gas;
· Accelerate the use of clean, renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind;
· Increase energy efficiency and conservation; and
· Preserve forests around the world.
