Rideshare—Pick transportation with the smallest environmental impact. This includes carpooling, taking public transportation, walking or biking.

Conserve electricity—When leaving your office or home, make sure to turn off unnecessary lights and  power down computers and electronics that aren’t in use.

Use water efficiently—Consider how much energy it takes to pump and treat water. A simple, water-smart action, like repairing a leaky faucet or pipe, can also save thousands of gallons of water each year.

Recycle—From recycling plastic bottles to composting food, you can help reduce the amount of garbage that you send to landfills.

Use paper responsibly—Think before you print! Print or copy your content only when it’s really needed. And if you do, remember to use both sides of the paper.

Spread the word—Be contagious! Talk to your family and friends about the actions you’re taking to conserve nature. You can inspire them to make better choices for the planet we share.
