Proposal for Everyone in the U.S.

Encourage everyone to be aware of their energy usage and its effect, and take steps to reduce it.Leave your car at homeGo for renewable energy Check your tire pressure regularly - under-inflated tires are dangerous and can increase fuel consumption by up to 3%. Increase environmental awareness of business stake holders-up to 30% of energy is typically wasted by business-Perhaps see if you can teleconference and work from home occasionally instead of flying.Assess energy-efficiency when purchasing appliances Reuse, Renew, recycle mentality

Turn off household lights and other electronics, in rooms not in use. Run dishwasher and washing machine when they are FULL. Cycle, carpool, take public transportation, or walk Eat less meatBuy Locally produced items with less packaging Change bulbs to fluorescent bulbsTurn down central heater (1 or 2 degrees down)Turn down the water heating setting

Proposal for Our Group

oGlobal warming is caused by the emission of greenhouse gases. CO2 is created by burning fuels such as; oil, natural gas, diesel, organic-diesel, and ethanol. The country we live in is ranked #1 for CO2 emissions, we need to start today by taking small steps in our own homes. Each small step we take is one giant step for the US. Since you can't replace everything, remember to turn off and unplug everything else!
