Wait! There’s still time! We can all help through simple
actions that only takes a few MINUTES!
Start by changing a few light bulbs in your home: by
switching to ENERGY STAR qualified products you will help
the environment while saving $70 a year on energy bills!
Also, pursue simple water-saving actions such as not letting
the water run while brushing your teeth. Did you know that
running your dishwasher only with a full load can save 100
pounds of carbon dioxide and $40 per year? Now you do!
The average American spends 150 minutes per day
participating in leisurely activities alone: we can all take
2 of those minutes to better our future, don’t you agree?

Global warming is mainly the result of CO2 levels rising
in the Earth’s atmosphere. CO2 levels are accelerating:
this increase will result in the spread of tropical diseases,
more frequent and violent storms, and long-term
economic suffering.
