How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint. Your carbon footprint is how many greenhouse gases

you release in your daily activities. Be remembered by your good deeds, not your carbon emissions.

You will need Deep concern for the future and sense of personal responsibility. Step

1. Turn your thermostat up in the summer or down in the winter by just two degrees, and

you’ll prevent hundreds of pounds of carbon dioxide from being released each year. Close

doors to rooms that you are not using to maximize heating and air conditioning. Insulate windows

and doors to save even more heating costs. Step 2. Turn off and unplug your computer,

TV, and other electronics when you’re not using them. Even electronics in sleep mode

draw power. Leaving your TV cable box on 24 hours a day uses about 65% as much energy

as a standard refrigerator. Step 3. Change all the incandescent bulbs in your home to

compact fluorescent bulbs, which use about 75% less energy. Step 4. Do your laundry or

run a dishwasher only when you have a full load. It saves water and it’s an excuse

not to clean. Step 5. Eat local: An organic out-of-season vegetable from the other side

of the world may sound delicious, but it had to make that trip on a huge container ship.

Take a canvas tote with you shopping, so you have a ready – and better – answer to

the question “paper or plastic?” Step 6. Bring your own cup or mug when you buy

coffee and stop tossing an average of 20 pounds of disposable cups a year. Step 7. Cut back

on bottled water. Most tap water is perfectly safe to drink, and making the plastic and

transporting the bottles uses huge quantities of fossil fuels. Step 8. Plant a tree. Trees

help reduce greenhouse gases, and every one counts. Consider it a peace offering to the

Earth. Step 9. Don’t jump in your car every time you feel the urge to run an errand. Plan

and consolidate your trips to cut down on gas. Step 10. When you can, carpool, use public

transportation, or ride your bicycle. Or walk, proud to be treading lightly. Did you know

Cattle produce as much as 37% of the atmosphere’s methane, a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent
