Flick off the light when you leave a room. Power plants burn fuels to create energy for your light bulb. Burning fuel makes smog that pollutes the atmosphere and adds to global warming.

Print on both sides of the page at work. It's easy to change your printer settings - you'll use half the paper and save trees.

Wash your clothes in warm or cold water. It works just as well as hot water in your washing machine and cuts back on energy use.

Ditch the paper cups. Bring in a glass to keep at school or work instead of using the paper ones by the water cooler.
