How to live a green lifestyle

Protect the environment by living green lifestyle. Here is a list of ways to do it


 * 1. Turn off the water while you brush your teeth.


 * 2. Put a brick in your toilet's tank.


 * 3. Shorten showers by 3 minutes or more. (Use an egg timer to help keep track of time.)


 * 4. Turn your air conditioning two degrees up in the summer, and lower your thermostat two degrees in the winter.


 * 5. Use a push mower instead of a riding mower.


 * 6. Buy organic food.


 * 7. Take a canvas bag when you go to any store, not just the grocery.


 * 8. Use silverware instead of disposable eating utensils.


 * 9. If you are printing a long document, save paper by printing on both sides of the paper.


 * 10.Recycle! Glass, metal, plastic, paper, the possibilities are endless.


 * 11.Use old rags or sponges to clean up messes instead of paper towels.


 * 12.Use old t-shirts to make rags.


 * 13.Buy organic clothes. There are jeans, t-shirts, and other items available by Arizona and WWF available at JCPenney.


 * 14.For the gals, buy organic beauty products. Physician's Formula has a good all-natural line out. Use less hair spray and more hair gel.


 * 15.Buy a hybrid car. They do cost a lot, but they save you money and reduce CO2 levels in the air.


 * 16.Do not grow a superiority complex. People see this and assume all green people are annoying 'Holier than Thou' people which turns them off being green.


 * 17.Plant a tree. Again, it reduces CO2 levels and adds oxygen, even if you plant just one. :-)


 * 18.Eat less meat! Going vegetarian reduces your carbon footprint by 1.5 tons a year.


 * 19.In the Winter, wear a sweater inside instead of turning up the heat, in the Summer, open the windows to let hot air out and cool in, instead of using air conditioner.


 * 20.Give harmful chemicals, such as cleaning products, to neighbors who will use it instead of dumping it down the drain.


 * 21.Don't litter! Don't dump anything down sewer drains, in any body of water, or on the ground.


 * 22.Don't keep the gas on, and turn it off often, turn the lights off, every time you leave a room.


 * 23.Buy the exact amount of what you need, not too little, not too much. Give leftovers to other people you know.


 * 24.Buy energy efficient light bulb, costly but helpful. Think about the polar bears and rain forest and nonrenewable resources!!!
