3 Easy Ways to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint Switch water heaters to vacation mode Switch water heaters to vacation mode Take a direct flight Take a direct flight Use cold water Use cold water

Switch Water Heaters to Vacation Mode Most water heaters have a "vacation" setting for when you are away from home for an extended period of time. Switching to that mode still keeps the water warm, but will not use the energy it takes to keep a tank full of piping-hot water. Most water heaters have a "vacation" setting for when you are away from home for an extended period of time. Switching to that mode still keeps the water warm, but will not use the energy it takes to keep a tank full of piping-hot water.

Take a Direct Flight Your impact is reduced when you take one flight, as opposed to hopping on a couple or more passenger jets to reach your final destination. Your impact is reduced when you take one flight, as opposed to hopping on a couple or more passenger jets to reach your final destination.

Use Cold Water Try using cold water to launder things that don't need to be cleaned in hot or warm water. It takes a lot of energy to heat up water - multiply that by the number of loads, and that's a big footprint. Most major detergent makers sell detergents designed to have the same cleaning power as with regular soap. Try using cold water to launder things that don't need to be cleaned in hot or warm water.
