Take action

Enumerate five things you can do to save the planet:

Using your own cloth bag instead of plastic or paper bags reduces waste and requires no additional energy.
Shut off your computer when not in use, and save 200 lbs of C02.Conserve energy by using your computer's "sleep mode" instead of a screensaver.
Even when electronic devices are turned off, they use energy. Save over 1,000 lbs of carbon dioxide and $256 per year.
Idling wastes money and gas, and generates pollution and global warming causing emissions. Except when in traffic, turn your engine off if you must wait for more than 30 seconds.
Showers account for 2/3 of all water heating costs. Save 350 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $99 per year.
