An inconvenient truth

A film well worth seeing. Go and see it now!
10 things to do from the Climate crisis website.

• Change a light
  Replacing one regular light bulb with compact fluroescent light bulb will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.


• Drive less
  Walk, bike, carpool or take mass transit more often. You'll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every minute you don't drive.


• Recycle more
  You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste.


• Check your tires
  Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere!


• Use less hot water
  It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead (350 pounds of CO2 saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year).


• Avoid products with a lot of packaging
  You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%.


• Adjust your thermostat
  Moving your thermostat just 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer. You could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment.


• Plant a tree
  A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.


• Turn off electronic devices
  Simply turning off your television, DVD player, stereo, and computer when you're not using them will save you thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
