25 Ways To Help Save the Planet

The following suggestions can help us do our part for the environment without a whole lot of effort.
1. Use a programmable thermostat. This way you won't waste energy heating and cooling your home while you are aay. If you go one step further and turn the thermostat down two degrees in the winter and up two degrees in the summer, you'll keep nearly 880 pounds of carbon dioxide from warming the earth.
2. Be judicious about washing clothes. Standard washing machines use about 40 gallons of water per load. Try and save a load every week, by using only full loads and if you wash in cold water, you save even more energy.
