Small changes you can make to reduce your home’s impact on the environment.

  1. Use less energy. Shorter showers, turn down the heat or air conditioning, switch off power to appliances not being used.

  2. Recycle whatever you can. Glass, aluminum, paper, etc.

  3. Avoid plastic water bottles. Drink tap water using a water filter and/or ionizer to provide safe, pure water.

  4. Cut down on red meat.
