Bike or Walk More, Drive Less and Drive Smart Less driving means fewer emissions. Besides saving gasoline, walking and biking are great forms of exercise. Explore your community mass transit system, and check out options for carpooling to work or school. When you do drive, make sure your car is running efficiently. For example, keeping your tires properly inflated can improve your gas mileage by more than 3 percent. Every gallon of gas you save not only helps your budget, it also keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide .out of the atmosphere

:Plant a Tree If you have the means to plant a tree, start digging. During photosynthesis, trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. They are an integral part of the natural atmospheric exchange cycle here on Earth, but there are too few of them to fully counter the increases in carbon dioxide caused by automobile traffic, manufacturing and other human activities. A single tree will absorb approximately one ton of carbon dioxide during its lifetime.

Saving water Check for leaks.. If your faucets drip, get them fixed. Turn off the water when you're not using it. Install low-flow toilets. Take shorter showers

Use reusable bottles for water Recycle Recycle all you can Use reusable bottles for water Avoid using disposable items Don't waste food Avoid using plastic whenever you can

Saving energy Switch off anything that uses electricity. If you're not using it, turn it off. Run your air conditioner sparingly or not at all Trade in your dryer for a good old-fashioned clothesline Use renewable energy sources.

Sort out your rubbish: Involve your kids in the recycling. Even very young kids can learn to separate the paper, glass and plastics. Explain why you take the time to recycle, then follow up with a trip.
