Save Water
- Turn off the faucet when not needed
- When showering, brushing your teeth, or washing dishes, only run the water when
necessary. - Drink all the water in your water bottle, or label it with a sharpie so that you remember it is yours
Drive Less
- Driving less doesn’t mean you have to stay home. Try combining driving with alternative
modes of transportation. - If you live close to school, walk or bike. If you live far away, carpool.
- Take the bus.
Eco-Friendly Eating
- Planting a garden and buying seasonal fruits and vegetables at Farmers’ Markets,
is both healthier and better for the environment.
Recycle
- Many of you will live in cities or towns where recycling is easy — you just put
your glass, paper, plastic and cans in bins at the curbside, and the recycling
truck picks it up like the regular garbageman does.
Eliminate Trash
- Buy only recyclable products.
- Eliminate the use of plastic and cans that are non-recyclable (as much as possible).
- Avoid buying products with styrofoam packaging.
- Use rechargable batteries instead of single-use batteries.
- Re-use containers and plastic bags as much as you can.
