Refuse, Reuse, Recycle
Look for products without a lot of packaging. Use your own canvas bags for shopping instead of plastic or paper bags. It takes energy to make a lot of packaging and to make plastic and paper bags.
Reuse all items that are reusable. You can reuse paper for writing and solving math problems. Reuse plastic and paper bags and some containers.
Compact Fluorescent bulbs
Compact fluorescent light bulbs use two-thirds less energy than regular bulbs, so they save energy. This light bulb lasts much longer – about five years -- and gives off more light than the incandescent bulb.
Line Dry Clothes
Dry your clothes on a clothesline outside when it is warm in the summer and spring. The sun and the wind will dry them. It saves energy and reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
Thermostats
Move your thermostat down in winter and up in summer. When we move our thermostats down in winter we use less heat. If we put it higher in summer, our air conditioning uses less energy.
Buy fresh, local food
Buy locally grown and produced foods. It saves gas because the food is grown closer and does not have to be shipped.Buy fresh food instead of frozen food because it takes energy freeze it and keep it frozen.
