Eco-Friendly Tips

1. Bike, use public transit, carpool to work, drive slower, keep your tires inflatedOne-third of all traffic is commuters. Use alternative transportation when possible. If you must drive, go slower with proper tire inflation. It saves both fuel and tires, and lowers emissions. It also saves lives.

2. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and CompostReusing packaging material saves more energy than recycling. By avoiding extra packaging, you save both energy and landfill space. Yard and kitchen waste (leaves/grass/vegetable scraps) are 30% of trash. Reduce this amount by composting. Also be sure to re-use plastic bags, or better yet... refuse plastic bags when you really don't need them.

3. Conserve waterDon't let faucets run. Never water your lawn at midday. Place a brick in old toilets. Take low flow short showers. Run the dishwasher only when it is full. Let grass grow longer. Plant native or drought-tolerant garden plants.

4. Eat less meat/eat more local and organic foodsFeedlots are a major source of organic pollution. Tropical forests are cut to raise beef.

5. Lower your thermostat in the winter. Raise it in the summerWearing a sweater in the winter and short sleeves in the summer saves energy and reduces pollution. .
