Answer 2

Okay...there are a lot of things you can do...

You can compost...take old foods that you never finished or fell on the floor and put them in a bucket, then dump it outside in an area you set aside for composting. then you can plant gardens using some of the compost.

You can recycle...take plastic and paper and recycle. Alos go on Martha Stewart.com, because they have crafts that can be made with recycled bottles ad materials.

Unplug your appliances...your microwave, cell phone charger, and nightlight all take up energy even when they're off, so unplug and save!!

of course...turn lights off...

If you ave two fridges, think about changing to one. do you really need to freeze soda?

Air dry towels on a cothing line...Towels don't usually get that wet so they'll be easy to dry.

Do big loads...Don't waste buckets off water while putting only one shirt in the wash and one dish in the dishwater....load as much as possible!!!

When yuo go to the grocery market, get re-usable canvas bags...some are really cheap liek 2 or 3 dollars...and if u ca't get canvas, save the plastic bags you get from the grocery store and use them next time.

Wear eco=friendly fabrics. there are a lot of great eco stores. look online!!!!

Ride your bike or run....Don't spen money on gas and get in shape by running places...or carpool!!

make an organic garden and get your food there....or buy locally at local farmers markets and such...

Hope this helps...if you want more, check out books by Laurie David...like "an activist's guide to global warming"

Thanks,

All you need to do is...

When you walk out of a room turn the light off.

Only use one light per room.

If you are done watching t.v then turn it off.

Don't put things on stand by, becasue you are still useing energy.

Also try to use those new light bulbs that twirl. Ever since my parents got those our bills went down and we were saving alot more energy!

Hope i helped!

I have replaced all my light bulbs to energy savers, i never leave anything on standby light. i recycle glass, paper, plasic bottles and foil. I reuse carrier bags, a compost bin and a water butt are great for saving water and turning waste into soil. turn off lights, keep tyres pumped up on your car.

Answer 6

energy efficent light bulbs, try to not use your car as much, get a hybrid car, turn stuff off when your not using it ex. t.v. satelite, lights, turn off air conditioner when your not home, ect.

Answer 7

Use an eco friendly bag for carrying shopping, walk short distances, rather than popping out in the car. Use the freecycle website or mates to swap stuff because it's too costly economically and globally otherwise.

Answer 8

Anything electrical that you are not using must be switched off including the sockets. Think before you buy anything at all. Can the packaging be recycled and is there an alternative with less packaging. Do try to buy what you believe has travelled the least difference in getting to where you shop. Whatever you decide to do first must be allowed to become a good habit then progress from there.

Answer 9

Engery saving light bubls

nothing left on even on stand by

heating off (if warm enought)

Reuse carrier bags as many times as you can.

compost bin

put out your recyling for them to collect (if your in an area that does that)

Answer 10

Get off your comp.

Live in a hut on the beach, using only natural resources.

But seriously, buy better lightbulbs and eco-friendly products.
