So you already know your Carbon Footprint (see prior posts on this blog).

Now you want to take action ... What can YOU do to reduce your Carbon Footprint?

 
Here are 3 Easy, Simple Tips from ClimateCrisis.Net   There are MANY MORE on the website.

"Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl)
CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. If every family in the U.S. made the switch, we’d reduce carbon dioxide by more than 90 billion pounds!"

"Move your thermostat down 2° in winter and up 2° in summer
Almost half of the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and cooling. You could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment."

"Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner
Cleaning a dirty air filter can save 350 pounds of carbon dioxide a year."
