SO WHAT CAN WE DO?

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.
