I make lists for most everything I do--groceries, errands, things to buys, to do and most recently, how to stop global warming!

Here's my list, use it, come up with your own and then share it with all of your friends!

1. Change a light-Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

2. Drive less-Walk, bike, carpool or take mass transit more often.  You'll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile your don't drive!

3. Recycle more-You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste.

4. Check your tires-Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere!

5. Use less hot water- It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead (350 pounds of CO2 saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year).

6. Avoid products with a lot of packaging- You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%.

7. Adjust your thermostat-Moving your thermostat down just 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

8. Plant a tree- A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime!  WOW.

9. Be a part of the solution-Learn more and get active at www.ClimateCrisis.net

10. Spread the word! Encourage your friends and family to do something to help stop global warming...Our planet doesn't come with a spare!

Enjoy the Holiday Week,
