- Drive Less
-Walk, ride a bicycle, skateboard, Rollerblade, or even take public transportation. Doing any of these things will improve your health by forcing you to exercise.
-If you drive less and leave the car at home, you not only reduce air pollution, but you also lower greenhouse gas emissions, save money, and improve your health.
-Research has shown that families who use public transportation save enough money annually to cover their food costs for a year. - Eat more Fruits, Grains, and Vegetables
-Raising animals to be used for consumption produce more greenhouse gas emissions than growing plants.
-A report by the University of Chicago found that adopting a vegan diet does more to reduce global warming than switching to a hybrid car. - Use Reusable shopping bags
-Worldwide, up to a trillion plastic bags are used and discarded every year.
-Reusable shopping bags reduce pollution and save natural resources that would have been used to make plastic or paper bags. - Use fluorescent or LED light-bulbs.
-They are more energy efficient, and less expensive.
-According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, if every U.S. household just one regular light-bulb with a fluorescent light-bulb, it would prevent 90 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions from power-plants.
