Since it's been so warm latly I've been thinking about you know global warming and saving the world. I found a site stopglobalwarming.org. I signed up for the Stop Global Warming Virtual March and thought I'd post a few of their world saving tips.
-Replace 3 frequently used light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. Save 300 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $60 per year.
-Make sure your printer paper is 100% post consumer recycled paper. Save 5 lbs. of carbon dioxide per ream of paper.
-Take shorter showers. Showers account for 2/3 of all water heating costs. Save 350 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $99 per year.
-Unplug un-used electronics. Even when electronic devices are turned off, they use energy. Save over 1,000 lbs of carbon dioxide and $256 per year.
-Air Dry Your Clothes. Line-dry your clothes in the spring and summer instead of using the dryer. Save 700 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $75 per year.
-Bring Cloth Bags to the Market. Using your own cloth bag instead of plastic or paper bags reduces waste and requires no additional energy.
Anyway I hope you check it out, siging up wasnt a big deal you just put your name, e-mail, zip code and country
