REDUCE EMISSIONS

• Riding your bike, taking public transit, and using fuel-efficient vehicles are all ways to reduce carbon emissions.

SAVE ENERGY

• Lowering the thermostat, unplugging small appliances, and installing compact fluorescent light bulbs all reduce the demand for electricity, which is often generated by burning fossil fuels.

• Reducing electricity consumption indirectly reduces air pollution.

EAT LOCALLY PRODUCED FOOD

• Buying food from local farmers reduces pollution from the trucks used to transport the produce.

• Buying from local organic farmers reduces pollution from pesticides as well.

PLANT WISELY

• Planting native plants reduces the chance of introducing an invasive species.

• Planting drought-tolerant plants reduces water usage in summer.

BUY WISELY

• Buying only what you really need reduces waste and reduces pressure on ecosystems.

• Think about the impact that using and disposing of the item will have on the environment.

• Choose products that have the EcoLogo or that you know were made in an environmentally responsible way.

GET INVOLVED

• Check out your school community. Does it have an environmental awareness group? Is a full recycling program in place? If so, check it out. If not, think about organizing one.

• Invite your family and friends to do an ecological footprint assessment.

• Check out local or national organizations promoting environmental sustainability.
