Be the change…
In the real world, everyday people play the hero's --
and sometimes the villain's -- part. This is particularly
true when it comes to saving the environment. With
Earth providing the one and only known spot in the
universe that's hospitable to the human race,
preserving a healthy environment isn't just a nice
ideal, it's an imperative. Mankind has the power to be
either the hero or the villain in the quest to save the
Earth, but certainly playing the hero will yield better
results for everyone.

10. Cut Energy Consumption
Buying andusing fluorescent
light bulbs
Insulating our homes so they
heat and cool more
efficiently
 Turning off lights and other
electronic equipment when
we leave a room
Using cold water when
possible, instead of hot or
warm
Washing only full loads of
laundry and dishes in the
machines

9. Use Sustainable Energy
You may have seen buildings
adorned with gleaming solar
panels or wind farms
covered in turbines that
stand like sentinels in the
breeze. These are two forms
of "green" energy that can
help reduce our reliance on
energy derived from burning
fossil fuels. In addition to
making decisions about
using already existing
sources of alternative
energy, it's crucial to
promote and invest in
research that will help
harness other sources of
sustainable energy.

Conserving water starts
with looking at it as a
limited resource and
consuming it with that
in mind.
We can also make
choices about how
much water we use in
our daily lives.
Choosing to conserve
water can have a
significant impact on
the overall goal of
saving the
environment.
8. Conserve Water

7. Buy Energy-efficient and Eco-
friendly
It's now possible to buy
household appliances with
an ENERGY STAR® label,
and these newer appliances
can sometimes reduce
energy use by
approximately 30 percent
In addition to buying
energy-efficient products,
it's a smart idea to buy
household cleaners and
other items that are eco-
friendly. Steering clear of
chemicals that harm the
environment is always a
good choice.

 Buying fewer items would reduce
our overall consumption.
 We can make simple changes, like
shopping with reusable bags and
keeping food and other items in
reusable containers, rather than
defaulting to plastic bags and
disposable containers. And
recycling obviously refers to buying
recycled products and sorting waste
into the appropriate categories.
 If you can't reduce your
consumption or find a way to reuse
a product, recycling is a better
choice than simply throwing
something into the trash.
6. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

5. Drive Less and Drive Smart
It's possible to cut down
on driving and to drive in
a smarter way. One easy
way to reduce driving is by
joining a carpool.
If public transportation
isn't a viable option,
transportation of the two-
wheeled variety (i.e. a
bike) is an excellent way to
reduce your carbon
footprint.

4. Support Climate Change
Initiatives
For the last 10 to 15 years,
world leaders have been
attempting to make
meaningful progress on
climate change. One of the
ways they've tried to do this
is through climate change
initiatives. These initiatives
generally focus on setting
firm deadlines for reducing
CO2 emissions, and they
often place caps on the
amount of CO2 that can be
produced.

It may seem like living near
your place of employment is
just common sense. After all,
if you spend eight or more
hours working every day,
that's a pretty big chunk of
your time. Living near your
work means that you can cut
down on what would
otherwise be a lengthy
commute. That's a good
thing for the environment, as
well as for your daily
schedule.
3. Live Where You Work

2. Plant Trees and Protest
Deforestation
The more trees we have,
the better our air quality,
and that's why planting
trees is an excellent step to
take toward saving the
environment.
Protesting deforestation,
both through activism and
by refusing to buy
products that are created
at the expense of the
world's forests, can help
slow and even halt
deforestation.

1. Encourage Others
The power in the steps on
this list comes from
getting everyone to take
them together. After doing
all the other things
mentioned here -- cutting
energy consumption,
conserving water, driving
less and everything else --
the most important thing
is to be bold and vocal
about encouraging others
to do the same.
