Answer 5

One VERY easy tip: RECYCLE, RECYCLE, RECYCLE!

You don't know HOW much that helps out our environment and wildlife. And if you have a few extra bucks, why not try to donate it to a wildlife organization such as WWF? Also, you can by the new luminescent lightbulbs (spiral shaped) and that saves a lot of energy. Keep windows open when hot, and turn all lights off when you are leaving your house or going to sleep. You can also do a small thing such as buying eco-friendly pencils for school at Office Depot :p
