I was reading through an article in magazine and I came across some amazing statistics involving small daily lifestyle changes we can all make! So read, enjoy, do, pass it on, repeat!!
Pounds of carbon you could save per year by making these changes:
Forego red meat one day a week; eat poultry, eggs or (sustainable) fish instead: 557
Wash four out of every five loads of laundry in cold water: 864
Replace five incandescent bulbs with CFLs or LEDs: 500
Recycle all household paper, plastic and glass: 1000
Plug the TV and cable box into a power strip and turn it off when not in use: 240
In warm months, set the air conditioner to 78 degrees or above: 726
Hang-dry one load of laundry per week: 229
Drive 10 fewer miles per week; walk or bike instead: 340
In winter, keep the thermostat between 60 and 68 degrees:
1,416 electric; 1,920 gas
Cut daily shower time from eight minutes to five: 513
SO EASY!! Check out this link to see some incredible art work illustrating dire threats to the worlds oceans! |
