Conserve
energy at home and work - turn off lights and appliances when not in use, adjust
thermostats to save energy, install timers to turn off heaters and other high energy items
when not needed. |
|
2 |
Better insulate your home - have a home energy audit
conducted to learn how to make your home as energy efficient as possible |
|
3 |
Buy
energy-efficient appliances and autos, use EPA's Energy Star rating system to help you
determine that you are buying energy efficient equipment. |
|
4 |
Use
compact fluorescent lights, they use about one quarter the energy of a standard light
bulb. Initially, the bulbs seem expensive but they more than pay for themselves over their
long life span. |
|
5 |
Help
the CACT encourage compact fluorescent bulbs by sponsoring a
CFL fundraiser. |
|

Drive
the newest and most fuel efficient car you own. Keep the engine tuned up and the tires
properly inflated. |
|
7 |
Drive
less by combining errands, carpooling, telecommuting, walking, biking or riding the bus. |
|

Limit
idling - it is always more efficient to turn the car off. Park and go in places instead of
using drive-thrus. |

Live
near your work and help make a "walkable" community in your area. |
