Okay, guys... do the planet a favour
""Because you don't get to a million without starting at one. So, get ready to go green. One act at a time. The world is watching.
Go here. And yes, Americans can sign up, too.
Just do what I did and register what you already do. There's lots of really simple stuff that I've been doing for forever. Got a few ideas for more stuff to do. You'll be amazed at the difference you're already making without even realising it, I'm sure!
My list thus far (As of December 18th 2008):
Install A Programmable Thermostat
Open the Curtains on Winter Days and Close Them at Night
During The Winter, Close Forced Air Vents In Unused Rooms
Install A Ceiling Fan
Do Laundry In Cold Water
Turn Lights Off When Not In Use
Replace an Incandescent Light Bulb With a Compact Fluorescent Bulb
Air Dry Clothes
Only Run The Dishwasher When It’s Full
Turn Off The Computer When You Aren’t Using It
Get Your Friends To Sign Up For One Million Acts Of Green
Recycle Old Cell Phones And Electronics
Plant a Tree
Take Public Transit Instead of Driving
Use Recycled Paper
Pick up Garbage
Recycling at Home
Turn the Tap Off When Brushing Your Teeth
Donate Clothes and Other Used Goods
Install A Water-Efficient Toilet
Print on Both Sides of the Paper
Avoid Using Disposable Plates, Glasses, and Cutlery
