Global Warming Tips

Lighting

1. Replace all incandescent light bulbs in your home and business with compact fluorescent ("twisty bulbs"). (e.g., I've replaced all bulbs in our home except for the small-socket bulbs in the chandelier above our piano.)
2. Turn off light bulbs unless you absolutely need them on, like when you're in the shower (if you have a window!).

Transportation

1. Ride your bike to work or purchase an electric car or invest in one, or a hybrid.

Computers

1. PCs: configure your computer to shutdown after 1 hour of non-use (Start Menu > Control Panel > Power Options > Power Schemes tab).

Vacations

1. Consider foregoing a "airline-based vacation" instead for a local vacation.

Diet

1. Living a vegan diet saves more fossil fuels than owning a Toyota Prius hybrid automobile.^ref?
2. Try to eat fruits and vegetasbles that are (1) grown locally (2) in season (3) organic. It takes 97 calories of energy to grow and transport 1 calorie of iceburg lettuce from California to the East Cost.^{the beyond organic show, June 21, 2006 - Combating Global Warming with... Community}.

Energy Production

1. Install a next-generation backyard wind generator and save 30-90% of your home energy needs.

Consumerism

1. Swap, don't buy: swap gift cards + +, CDs, DVDs, Books, or anything.
