Learn things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint. If we all make
small changes, the impact can be significant.
Energy Practices
Start with the easy, inexpensive things first, like shutting off lights and other equipment when
no one is using them. Or start with the things that can have the biggest impact, such as
replacing an old, inefficient furnace or refrigerator.
Renewable Energy Choices
Power your home with green, renewable energy by purchasing it from your utility company or
installing a renewable energy system to generate your own power.
Transportation Practices
Drive smarter, drive less. Purchase a more efficient vehicle. Walk, bike or use public
transportation rather than your car.
More Life Choices
While this resource focuses on energy and transportation, which are the most easily
measured generators of CO2, many other life choices impact your carbon footprint. Where
you live, what you buy and who you buy from can all make a difference.
