- By planting trees, you can reduce home cooling costs by as much as 50% and grow yourself a little shade on a warm summer day
- Green power is available in 37 US States and many locations around the world. Ask for it. Demand it. And if you don't live in a green zone, consider investing in energy certificates.
- Compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) last up to 10 times longer than traditional bulbs and use only a fraction of the energy. Saving you $30-$50 over their lifespan.
- Carpool and help relieve congestion on your daily ride to work. Did you know that Americans waste 2.3 Billion gallon of gas every year while stuck in traffic?
- Ride public transit and help conserve an estimated 1.4 Billion gallons of gas & curb the release of roughly 1.5 Million tons of harmful CO2 a year.
- Buy carbon offsets to help counteract the CO2 pollution from your next big trip.
- The U.S. alone wastes over $1 Billion a year on computer monitors that are turned on when they shouldn't be.
- Lower the CO2 emissions of your appliances and electronics by up to 50% by buying the most efficient ones available.
- Cut the amount of plastic bags you use when shopping by reusing bags or using a fabric shopper or 'bag for life'. Using fewer bags preserves resource needed to manufacture plastic bags.
