How To Be Green
Drive Right
Inflate your tires and burn less gasoline, which will not only cut back on pollution, but also the number of times you have to fill up.
 Buy Local & Organic Food
Buying locally will cut back on the amount of miles traveled from the far to the store. Organic foods also don't use pesticides and chemicals to grow produce, cutting back on pollution in the air.
Use Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
Instead of using incandescent light bulbs, switch to compact fluorescent bulbs that use a quarter amount of electricity and last longer. This will save money on bills, clean the air, and slow global warming.
Consume Water Smartly
Use low-flow showerheads that use half the water without sacrificing performance. Also, turn the water heater to 120 degrees to lower electric bills.
Recycle and Reuse
Recycled goods save energy and stop pollution.
