Energy

Heat and Cool Naturally

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

DAILY ACTION

Waste

Skip the Straw

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

    Try washing your clothes in cold water, if you haven't tried this yet. The clothes come out clean, and you save the energy from heating the water.  Simple.

    Why in the world do restaurants bring straws automatically with a glass of water?? It drives me bananas.
