10 WAYS TO HELP THE
PLANET
1. CHANGE YOUR LIGHT
 If every household in the United State replaced one
regular lightbulb with one of those new compact
fluorescent bulbs, the pollution reduction would be
equivalent to removing one million cars from the
road.
 Don't like the color of light? Use these bulbs for
closets, laundry rooms and other places where it
won't irk you as much.
2. TURN OFF COMPUTERS AT NIGHT
 By turning off your computer instead of leaving it in
sleep mode, you can save 40 watt-hours per day.
That adds up to 4 cents a day, or $14 per year. If
you don't want to wait for your computer to start up,
set it to turn on automatically a few minutes before
you get to work, or boot up while you're pouring
your morning cup 'o joe.
3. RECYCLE GLASS
 Recycled glass reduces related air pollution by 20
percent and related water pollution by 50 percent. If
it isn't recycled it can take a million years to
decompose.
4. GO VEGETARIAN ONCE A WEEK
 One less meat-based meal a week helps the planet
and your diet. For example: It requires 2,500
gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. You
will also save some trees. For each hamburger that
originated from animals raised on rainforest land,
approximately 55 square feet of forest have been
destroyed.
5. RECYCLE NEWSPAPER
 There are 63 million newspapers printed each day
in the U.S. Of these, 44 million, or about 69%, of
them will be thrown away. Recycling just the
Sunday papers would save more than half a million
trees every week.
6. PLANT A TREE
 It's good for the air, the land, can shade your house
and save on cooling (plant on the west side of your
home), and they can also improve the value of your
property.
 Make it meaningful for the whole family and plant a
tree every year for each member.
7. TURN OFF LIGHTS
 Always turn off incandescent bulbs when you leave
a room. Fluorescent bulbs are more affected by the
number of times it is switched on and off, so turn
them off when you leave a room for 15 minutes or
more. You'll save energy on the bulb itself, but also
on cooling costs, as lights contribute heat to a
room.
8. GO TO A CAR WASH
 Professional car washes are often more efficient
with water consumption. If everyone in the U.S.
who washes their car themselves took just one visit
to the car wash we could save nearly 8.7 billion
gallons of water.
9. SKIP THE COFFEE STIRRER
 Each year, Americans throw away 138 billion straws
and stirrers. But skipping the stirrer doesn't mean
drinking your coffee black. Simply put your sugar
and cream in first, and then pour in the coffee, and
it should be well mixed.
 Determined to stir? Break off a piece of pasta from
the cupboard. You can nibble after using it,
compost, or throw away with less guilt.
10. USE RECHARGABLE BATTERIES
 Each year 15 billion batteries produced and sold
and most of them are disposable alkaline batteries.
Only a fraction of those are recycled. Buy a charger
and a few sets of rechargeable batteries. Although
it requires an upfront investment, it is one that
should pay off in no time. And on Christmas
morning when all the stores are closed? You'll be
fully stocked.

10 ways to help the planet

  • 1. 10 WAYS TO HELP THE PLANET
  • 2. 1. CHANGE YOUR LIGHT  If every household in the United State replaced one regular lightbulb with one of those new compact fluorescent bulbs, the pollution reduction would be equivalent to removing one million cars from the road.  Don't like the color of light? Use these bulbs for closets, laundry rooms and other places where it won't irk you as much.
  • 3. 2. TURN OFF COMPUTERS AT NIGHT  By turning off your computer instead of leaving it in sleep mode, you can save 40 watt-hours per day. That adds up to 4 cents a day, or $14 per year. If you don't want to wait for your computer to start up, set it to turn on automatically a few minutes before you get to work, or boot up while you're pouring your morning cup 'o joe.
  • 4. 3. RECYCLE GLASS  Recycled glass reduces related air pollution by 20 percent and related water pollution by 50 percent. If it isn't recycled it can take a million years to decompose.
  • 5. 4. GO VEGETARIAN ONCE A WEEK  One less meat-based meal a week helps the planet and your diet. For example: It requires 2,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. You will also save some trees. For each hamburger that originated from animals raised on rainforest land, approximately 55 square feet of forest have been destroyed.
  • 6. 5. RECYCLE NEWSPAPER  There are 63 million newspapers printed each day in the U.S. Of these, 44 million, or about 69%, of them will be thrown away. Recycling just the Sunday papers would save more than half a million trees every week.
  • 7. 6. PLANT A TREE  It's good for the air, the land, can shade your house and save on cooling (plant on the west side of your home), and they can also improve the value of your property.  Make it meaningful for the whole family and plant a tree every year for each member.
  • 8. 7. TURN OFF LIGHTS  Always turn off incandescent bulbs when you leave a room. Fluorescent bulbs are more affected by the number of times it is switched on and off, so turn them off when you leave a room for 15 minutes or more. You'll save energy on the bulb itself, but also on cooling costs, as lights contribute heat to a room.
  • 9. 8. GO TO A CAR WASH  Professional car washes are often more efficient with water consumption. If everyone in the U.S. who washes their car themselves took just one visit to the car wash we could save nearly 8.7 billion gallons of water.
  • 10. 9. SKIP THE COFFEE STIRRER  Each year, Americans throw away 138 billion straws and stirrers. But skipping the stirrer doesn't mean drinking your coffee black. Simply put your sugar and cream in first, and then pour in the coffee, and it should be well mixed.  Determined to stir? Break off a piece of pasta from the cupboard. You can nibble after using it, compost, or throw away with less guilt.
  • 11. 10. USE RECHARGABLE BATTERIES  Each year 15 billion batteries produced and sold and most of them are disposable alkaline batteries. Only a fraction of those are recycled. Buy a charger and a few sets of rechargeable batteries. Although it requires an upfront investment, it is one that should pay off in no time. And on Christmas morning when all the stores are closed? You'll be fully stocked.
