Here are 10 Simple things you can do and how much carbon dioxide you'll save doing them! Change a light Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Drive less Walk, bike, carpool or take metro transit more often. You'll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don't drive! Recycle more You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste. Check your tires Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keep 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere! Use less hot water It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low-flow shower-head (350 pounds of carbon dioxide saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds save per year). Avoid products with a lot of packaging You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%. Adjust your thermostat Moving your thermostat down just 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Plant a Tree A single tree will absorb on ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Turn off electronic devices Simply turning off your television, DVD player, stereo, and computer when you're not using them will save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
