What's your Carbon Footprint? 5 Ways to Reduce YOUR Carbon Footprint:
1. Replace all lightbulbs in your house with CFLs.
2. Lower your heating and increase your cooling by three degrees.
3. Keep your tires inflated, have your oil and your air filters changed regularly, and don't speed!
4. Switch to Green Energy.
5. Run your dishwasher and washing machine only with a full load; try to line/air dry.
Energy & Pollution Factoids from Sierra Magazine:
If you replaced your Ford Excursion with a Honda Insight, over its lifetime you'd save $11,000 on gas and produce 107 fewer tons of CO2.
If you replaced your 1972 refrigerator with a 2001 model, you'd cut CO2 emissions by 1,100 pounds a year and save $80 a year on your energy bill.
If you replaced your top-loading washing machine with a new front-loader, you'd save $100 a year in energy, water, and detergent.
If you replaced your 75-watt incandescent lightbulb with a 20-watt compact fluorescent, you'd get the same amount of light but save 1,300 pounds of CO2 and $55.

This is the only Team that can take on the most consequential problem in human history: global warming.
