With global warming, erratic/extreme weather changes, extinction, pollution, scarce natural resources (energy, water, food) being major issues, a couple of things we can do to help save the environment.
1. Drive less - live closer to where you work, take public transportation, ride your bike, exercise rather than go shopping/eating out. Drive a smaller car. Go hybrid.
2. Eat less fast food.
3. Recycle. Waste less.
4. Adjust your thermostat to slightly higher temps (summer) and slightly lower temps (winter).
5. Use shades, reflecting windows, sealants to better insulate your dwelling.
6. Adopt a plant. More plants = more O2, less CO2.
7. Go digital - rather than waste paper, etc. Do everything online, on your computer. Back everything up, though, & have anti-virus software.
8. Use a water-filter system as opposed to buying bottled water.
9. Adopt a pet
10. Donate to charitable causes such as alternative/natural energy, saving species from extinction, fight against global warming, pollution, deforestation, etc.
11. Use your own reusable bags when grocery shopping.
That's it. Until next time!

I also recommend, closing your doors, wearing a sweater (during the winter), wearing light clothing (during the summer) to save on your energy bill as well as reduce emissions from your A/C.

Thanks Stacy. Was talking with my friend the other day. He mentioned that he quit his full-time job, moved to NYC, & is now heading a web startup. He has no gas, car insurance, maintainence expenses. Doesn't have to commute to work, works from home in his boxers. That's another way to go - quit your job & start your own home-based business.
