TAKE ACTION!

Enumerate five things you can do to save the planet.

  • Buy Products Locally
    Buy locally and reduce the amount of energy required to drive your products to your store.
  • Carpool When You Can
    Own a big vehicle? Carpooling with friends and co-workers saves fuel. Save 790 lbs. of carbon dioxide and hundreds of dollars per year.
  • Reduce Garbage
    Buy products with less packaging and recycle paper, plastic and glass. Save 1,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide per year.
  • Unplug Un-Used Electronics
    Even when electronic devices are turned off, they use energy. Save over 1,000 lbs of carbon dioxide and $256 per year.
  • Take Shorter Showers
    Showers account for 2/3 of all water heating costs. Save 350 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $99 per year.

Stop and think...

"You look at that river gently flowing by. You notice the leaves rustling with the wind. You hear the birds; you hear the tree frogs. In the distance you hear a cow. You feel the grass. The mud gives a little bit on the river bank. It’s quiet; it’s peaceful. And all of a sudden, it’s a gear shift inside you. And it’s like taking a deep breath and going, 'Oh yeah, I forgot about this'. ”— Al Gore in the opening monologue of An Inconvenient Truth
