Tip 12: Global Warming Starts at Home
Healthy Child
Sunday, October 08, 2006
Did you know that 21% of all the carbon dioxide pollution in the U.S. comes from energy used in homes?
So you’ll be glad to know there are simple things you can do to make a difference.
- Unplug your cell phone and iPod chargers – they draw current even when they aren't in use
- Recycle your 2nd fridge - a rarely used fridge in the garage is an energy monster, and if you need two, make sure they are both Energy Star fridges
- Use CFLs – replace 5 regular light bulbs with compact florescent light bulbs
And best of all you can make a difference in fighting climate change by supporting Healthy Child. Visit TerraPass and then go to the “Home” tab to calculate your house’s carbon impact and balance it out with a Home TerraPass. 10% of your purchase will go to Healthy Child.
