1. Pay attention to how you use water. The little things can make a big difference.
Every time you turn off the water while you're brushing your teeth, you're doing something good.
Got a leaky toilet? You might be wasting 200 gallons of water a day [Source: EPA. Wash your clothes in cold water when you can.
2. Leave your car at home. If you can stay off the road just two days a week,
you'll reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 1,590 pounds per year [Source: EPA].
Combine your errands -- hit the post office, grocery store and shoe repair place in one trip.
It will save you gas and time.
3. Walk or ride your bike to work, school and anywhere you can.
You can reduce greenhouse gases while burning some calories and improving your health.
If you can't walk or bike, use mass transit or carpool.
Every car not on the road makes a difference.
4. Recycle.You can help reduce pollution just by putting that soda can in a different bin.
If you're trying to choose between two products, pick the one with the least packaging.
If an office building of 7,000 workers recycled all of its office paper waste for a year,
it would be the equivalent of taking almost 400 cars off the road
