Things to do to GO GREEN:
Figure out how much carbon you produce per
year at the carbon zero calculator. You'll
be told how many trees will need to be
planted in order to compensate for your
carbon use. Make a donation toward planting
those trees right on the website (part of
the Conservation Fund Organization) or
look for other tree planting opportunities
at the Arbor Day website. Replace standard
bulbs in your home with energy efficient
compact fluorescent bulbs. You'll save on
electric billsand as a result reduce the
amount of fossil fuels used to create
electricity. Note: even replacing one bulb
will help! Recycle, Recycle, Recycle! See
ideas for recycling and/or pick up Middlesex
County's guide to recycling in the Library.
Save money on gas and save the environment!
Share rides, walk or take public transportation
where possible. The Frugal Life website
offers more tips. Can't reduce the amount you
drive? Check out TerraPass.(Please note
that it is a for-profit company).
