At home
• Turn off the lights

• Take shorter showers and turn off water when brushing your teeth.

At your yard
• Use a push mower to mow your grass
• Air dry your clothes on a line outdoors
• Plant a tree – Trees suck up carbon dioxide and make clean air for us to breathe.

At the store
• Bring cloth bags to the market
