STOP GLOBAL WARMING

1 Purchase a programmable thermostat for your home. For periods during which you are not home, you can set your thermostat to be about two
degrees cooler in the winter and 2 degrees warmer in the summer. This will reduce your home’s CO2 emissions.

2 Plant trees in your yard. Trees will shade your home, reducing the need for air conditioning.
Trees also drink up about one ton of CO2 during their lifetime.

3 Reduce your driving speed from 65 mph to 55 mph. By driving at 55 mph, you optimize your
car’s gas mileage and reduce your CO2 emissions

4 Buy food products grown by local farmers. Local products don’t have to be transported long distances, reducing CO2 emissions.

5 Carpool to and from work when possible. Fewer cars on the road equals less CO2 released into the atmosphere.

6 Use cloth bags when shopping at the grocery store. Electricity is required to make plastic, which puts more CO2 into the air.

7 Turn off and unplug TV’s, computers and other electronics when they are not in use to reduce the amount of electricity needed for
your home.
