Tips on being more environmentally conscious

This will be an on-going post... I will add more as I find more info.

Replace regular lightbulbs with flourescent, it will save you on your electric bills as well as produce less waste, and emit less carbon.

Drive less, walk more, it will save you on gas, make you thinner, make your heart healthier, and make the air cleaner for your lungs and the lungs of those around you.
(if you need to go to a store that's a mile away, taking that 10 min. walk instead of driving makes a big difference)

Use less AC and Heater. Again, this saves you on your electric bills. Instead of turning up the heater, wear more layers, instead of using AC, open the windows, or build a shade. Even if you have to turn on AC/Heater, not turning it up so high can already make a lot of difference. It's a vicious cycle that the more AC people use, the hotter it will get.

Another simple one, Unplug electronics FROM THE WALL when they're not in use. Even when it's turned off, electronics uses up electricity. If you have something that you don't use that often, unplugging it will save your wallet and the environment. If you really want to help out, use surge protectors, and when you go to work, or go on vacation, unplug the surge protectors which prevents your electronics from sucking up electricity.

Recycle. This one takes a bit of an effort, but I've seen many parents not give their kids allowances, and instead have them collect bottles and cans from school events, bbqs, etc to recycle to earn the money. It teaches them reponsibility, work ethic, and also help protect the environment.
