Hey! Do Your Part!

There are here ten easy steps to you start now to make difference:

1. Reuse the plastic grocery bags you have. There are a million uses for them, from picking up pet droppings to re-using as trash bags in the car or home;

2. Try don't eat meat for one or two days a week;

3. When buying cleaning supplies, look if it is biodegradable, otherwise the water will clean the majority to you;

4. Walk more, leave the car in the garage, what is healthy too. When you can, give rides to friends and neighbors.

5. Buy used books.

6. Do not leave your appliances on stand-by mode;

7. Give a backlash to your car;
If it comes once a week in the garage, after one year savings in CO2 emissions will reach 440 pounds - a volume that large trees take twenty years to absorb in photosynthesis

8. Use both sides of paper;
American businesses throw away 21 million tons of paper every year, equal to 175 pounds per office worker. For a quick and easy way to halve this, set your printer's default option to print double-sided (duplex printing). And when you're finished with your documents, don't forget to take them to the recycling bin

9. Take a shorter bath;

Every two minutes you save on your shower can conserve more than ten gallons of water. If everyone in U.S. saved just one gallon from their daily shower, over the course of the year it would equal twice the amount of freshwater withdrawn from the Great Lakes every day

10. Download your software;

Most software comes on a CD, and more than thirty billion compact discs of all types are sold annually. That's a huge amount of waste, not to mention the associated packaging. Another bonus to downloading your software is that it's often available for download at a later date when you upgrade to a new computer or are attempting to recover from a crash
