Stop Global Warming

How much carbon dioxide you'll save doing them:

1. Change a light - Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb will save 150 pounds of CO2 a year.

2. Drive less - Walk, bike, carpool or take mass transit more often. You'll save 1 pound of CO2 for every mile you don't drive!

3. Recycle more - You can save 2,400 pounds of CO2 per year by recycling just half of your household waste.

4. Check your tires - Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of CO2 out of the atmosphere!

5. Use less hot water - It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead (350 pounds saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds save per year)

6. Efficient air-cond usage - Turn off the air-conditional's main switch when not in use. You could save about 2,000 pounds of CO2 a year with this simple action.

7. Turn off electronic devices - Simply turning off your TV, DVD player, stereo and computer when you're not using them will save you thousands of pounds of CO2 a year.

8. Plant a tree - A single tree will absorb 1 ton of CO2 over its lifetime.

9. Avoid products wit a lot of packaging - You can save 1,200 pounds of CO2 if you cut down your garbage by 10%.

The climate crisis can be solved. It's all in our hands. Do you think these are difficult steps? Think again!
