Answer 3

We went all winter without turning on the furnace for our second floor.  We did use the furnace for the first floor of our house, but we slept upstairs under a down comforter.  Yes, it was cold.  This is Illinois!

Answer 4

I have done almost anything you could do that really does help our earth.

-Recycle

-Donate some many to Environmental Groups because with the money you donated they take out 100% of gas out of the air. But only in a town.

-Tell others because they tell other people and those other people inform other people.

-Use fluorescent light bulbs.

-Drive a hybrid car because its cheaper and you save more money because you dont pay as much for gas as you would for a regular car.

-Turn off the lights when you leave a room

-Unplug charges when not in use.

-Take shorter shower heating water uses lots of energy.

-Write a letter to companies that pollute the air.

-Walk shorter distances instead of using a car.

-Wait until you have a lot of clothes to wash instead of washing only 1 shirt.

-Protest

Answer 5

Cut down on driving, but to be honest it is because gas is at $3.30.

Cut down electrical use for the same reasons.
