Reduce your footprint

There are many simple ways to reduce the footprint you leave on the planet.

Engage your friends and community with local and global movements for social change, or start your own movement!

Reduce your Carbon Footprint

Use cleaner transport

• Walk, bike, or take public transit whenever possible.

• Avoid allowing your car to idle. If you'll be waiting for more than 30 seconds, turn off the engine (except in traffic). And don't take the drive-through-park the car and walk inside instead.

• Have your vehicle serviced regularly to keep the emission control systems operating at peak efficiency. Check your car's air filter monthly, and keep the tires adequately inflated to maximize gas mileage.

• Avoid short airplane trips-take a bus or train instead.

Add energy-saving features to your home

• Install compact fluorescent bulbs in all your home light fixtures-but remember, compact fluorescents contain mercury, so look for low-mercury models and be sure to dispose of old bulbs safely through your local hazardous waste program.

• Weatherproof your home. Make sure your walls and ceilings are insulated, and consider double-pane windows. Eliminate drafts with caulking, weather strips, and storm windows and doors.

• Insulate your water heater. Even better, switch to a tankless water heater, so your water will be heated only as you use it.

• Choose energy efficient appliances.

  

Adopt energy-saving habits

•  Keep thermostat relatively low in winter and ease up on the air conditioning in summer. Clean or replace dirty air conditioner filters as recommended to keep the A/C operating at peak efficiency.

• Unplug your electronics when not in use. To make it easier, use a power strip. Even when turned off, items like your television, computer, and cellphone charger still sip power.

• Dry your clothes outside whenever possible.

• Make minimal use of power equipment when landscaping.

• Defrost your refrigerator and freezer regularly.

• Choose green electricity. Many utilities give you the option to purchase electricity generated by wind and solar power for a small rate surcharge.

• Purchase carbon offsets to make up for the energy use you can't eliminate.

 Reduce your Food Footprint

• Eat more local, organic, in-season foods.

• Plant a garden-it doesn't get more local than that.

• Shop at your local farmer's market or natural foods store. Look for local, in-season foods that haven't traveled long distances to reach you.

• Choose foods with less packaging to reduce waste.

• Eat lower on the food chain-going meatless for just one meal a week can make a difference. Globally, it has been estimated that 18% of all greenhouse gas emissions are associated with meat consumption.
