Plastic Rings

You know those plastic rings that keep your beverages together? Snip them before putting them into your recycling bin. Why? They can cause damage and death to wildlife - they can be strangled by them, and if they think it's food, they will choke on it.

Lessen Your Meat Consumption

Quick Tip: Cutting your consumption of beef and pork can save up to 1,500 pounds of CO2 emmissions a year, and also a whole lot of water that is used in its production.

Shorter Showers

Tip: Shorten Your Showers.
Why? You can save more than 5 gallons of water for every minute you shorten your shower. Limit your shower to 5 minutes or less. Set a timer.

Better Lightbulbs

Tip: Switch to energy-saving light-bulbs.
Why? Compact fluorescent light-bulbs (CFL) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) light-bulbs use 75% less energy and last about 10 times as long as incandescent bulbs. Switching will keep a lot of greenhouse gasses out of the air, and will save you money.

Deodorants

Make sure your deodorant doesn't contain aluminum, potassium aluminum sulfate. It has been linked to Alzheimers Disease.

Heat it up!

Use a portable heater in the room you are in instead of heating the entire house. Why? Heating rooms you aren't using wastes electricity and money, and releases a lot of CO2 into the air.

Charging Cell Phones

When you need to charge your cell phone, charge it for an hour on two, and don't let it sit overnight. This simple change will save energy and money almost every day.

Keep It Cold

Use cold water when you wash your clothes. Ninety percent of the energy used by washing machines goes to heating.
