If you will be camping, leave the campsite and park better than you found it.  Carry all trash out with you; do not burn or bury garbage of any kind, and check your campsite thoroughly to make sure nothing gets left behind.

OK, so it may seem that all I’m doing with these “Green Tips” is taking some other persons work and posting it on my site. In my eyes it’s really something greater than that. Too, it’s not like I’m taking credit for their work either. Thus the works cited. I could very [...]

If you routinely shower before work in the morning and then again after your evening visit to the gym, consider switching to a morning workout and showering just once a day.  You’ll save about two hundred gallons of water for each shower you subtract from your schedule.  Over the course of a year, you could [...]

Turn off your power strips when they’re not in use.  The average American household continuously leaks about fifty watts of electricity.  Eliminating that trickle would save $1 billion a year of wasted electricity.

Try doing some of your shopping at local farmer’s market.  And if you can, walk or bike there.  Of the total energy used in the United States per year, 4 percent is used to produce food, and between 10 and 13 percent is used to transport it.  On average, U.S. supermarket food travels    1, 500 [...]

Avoid crayons made from paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum.  Instead, try using crayons made from soybean oil, which have the added benefit of being nontoxic.  America is the largest producer of soybeans in the world.  From this we could produce well over one trillion crayons-without tapping oil supplies!

Look for baby laundry liquids that contain vegetable-based cleaners instead of those that are petroleum based.  They’re gentler on your baby and won’t contribute to the depletion of fossil fuels.  If all babies born this year had their clothes laundered in a vegetable-based detergent, the petroleum saved would equal 1.5 million gallons of gasoline, or the [...]

Install dimmer switches where dimmed lighting makes sense, like the dining room and hallways.  Dimming a light by 25 percent saves and equal percentage of energy.

Try to use fewer paper napkins.  Each American consumes and average of 2,200 two-ply napkins per year, or just over 6 napkins per day.  If each person used 1 fewer napkin per day, it would save about 150 million of them from the trash…enough to provide a napkin a napkin to every person who eats [...]
