1. Replace regular light bulbs with energy efficient ones - they use less electricity, resulting in lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
2. Drive less, get regular tune-ups and consider a hybrid car - all can reduce CO2 levels and improve fuel efficiency
3. Eat locally farmed foods that are grown organically. It takes less energy to get them to market and organic farming uses no pesticides

Thanks for the information. Don't leave your computer on -- put it to sleep. The resultant energy savings call really add up, plus it will prolong your monitor and cpu's lives.

Oh so true! We turn off the power on the power strip at night and when we are out.
Saves money for sure and clears the air!
