10 Things To Do

	1. Recycle. The average American uses seven trees a year in paper, wood, and other products made from trees. This amounts to about 2 billion trees per year! Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours -- or the equivalent of a half a gallon of gasoline.
	2. Change a bulb. If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.
	3. Take shorter showers. Conserve water. Even a one or two minute reduction can save up to 700 gallons per month. Installing water-saving shower heads or flow restrictors saves an additional 500 to 800 gallons per month.
	4. Reduce plastic use. Recycle used plastic. There are an enormous amount of plastics in the ocean, including “The Garbage Patch” in the Pacific Ocean that spans an area twice the size of Texas. Go to www.algalita.org to find out more or
	5. Buy hybrid cars and other energy saving things. The Prius gets 46 miles a gallon and produces 70% fewer smog-forming emissions than the average new vehicle. If every U.S. household and business replaced old computers with new ENERGY STAR qualified models, we would save more than $1.8 billion in energy costs over the next five years and avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to more than 2.7 million cars.
	6. Eat local or organic foods. The ten most important organic foods to eat are: Baby Food, Strawberries, Rice, Oats, Milk, Bell Peppers, Bananas, Green Beans, Peaches, and Apples.
	7. Clean green. There are Safe alternatives to chemical-based household cleaners. They use packaging that uses Polyethylene and polypropylene plastics which are 100% recyclable.
	8. Turn down the heat. Turn out the lights. These are little things that go a long way: Wearing layers or a hoodie instead of heading right for the heater; Turning out lights in the parts of the house that you’re not using and opening the blinds before you hit the switch.
	9. Plant a tree. During a 50-year life span, one tree will generate $30,000 in oxygen, recycle $35,000 worth of water, and clean up $60,000 worth of air pollution or $125,000 total per tree without including any other values!
	10. Speak up! Vote green! Use your voice to spread the word and to elect people who can make a global impact with their actions.
