Answer 13

We do a lot of things around the home.  Now that I don't work full time, I have more time, and by reducing the "convenience" items I've also reduced my carbon foot print.

I hang laundry rather than putting it in the dryer.  When the weather is too damp to put it outside, I hang it on hangers, then run the dryer a much shorter time.

There are a ton of "tips" available on the net for home improvement projects and lifestyle adaptations. When I have a chance, I'll try to post some good links.

Oh, when I turn the computer off, I also switch off the power strip.  I do the same for the TV.  It's small, but I've read that it "adds up."
