Default Things to do to help save the environment

Hi,

Because of Steveīs recent post I got thinking about what else we can all do (small and large) to help save the environment.

Hereīs my suggestions, I hope to hear more good ideas!
  • Turn OFF the computer when you are not using it
  • Turn off and disconnect everything when you are not using it (including modem, printer, tv, vcr, dvd player etc)
  • Walk or take the bike wherever you can instead of the car
  • carpool if you have to use the car, not just for work and school but also for doing shopping
  • Let your hair dry naturally whenever possible instead of using a blowdryer
  • Use electricity saving light bulbs
  • Open windows in the morning and evenings instead of having the airco on.
  • Turn off the Airco/Heating when you are not at home
  • Donīt let the water run while brusing your teeth
  • Turn off lights in rooms you are not in
  • Use water saving toilets (or use the small flush whenever possible)
  • Put on another sweather in winter or fall so you can turn the heating down a bit
  • Have solar panels (at least for your warm water)
  • Cut vegetables yourself whenever possible instead of using a machine
