Tread carefully, and leave a lighter carbon footprint by following these simple steps:
- Replace burned-out light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs (or LED bulbs).
- Don’t idle your car. If you’re pulling over for more than 20 seconds, it’s worth switching off the engine.
- Keep your car in good running condition. That means getting regular oil changes so you’ll produce fewer emissions, and making sure tyres are properly inflated so you’ll use less fuel.
- Buy products that come in less packaging. Check that the packaging is recyclable.
- Plug your TV and DVD player into a power bar and then switch off the power bar when you switch off the TV. These and other devices draw power even when off.
