Do your part

Did you know that Americans put 22 tons of carbon dioxide per person into the environment? The world is growing by more than 70 million people a year. 25 years from now it may take 50% more energy than we use today to cover everyone's needs. In order for mankind to flourish, we all need to do our part to conserve, and use our resources wisely. What can you do to help? Reduce your personal Global Warming Emissions by doing the following:

1. Take 2 minutes off your shower every day.
2. Replace at least one incandescent bulb in your bedroom with a compact fluorescent light bulb.
3. Recycle your paper, plastic and glass.
4. Unplug your entertainment devices when not in use.
5. Plant a tree.
6. Walk or ride your bike.
7. Turn the water OFF while you brush your teeth.

It is our world, and each and every one of us needs to help care for it.
