Check appliances, only takes a minute.

1. Try to open the fridge door less frequently and for a shorter duration to conserve energy.
   
2. The fridge should be kept at 38-42°F (3-5°C), the freezer at 0-5°F (-17 to -15°C).
3. Don’t place your fridge in a warm spot — near a heater or in direct sunlight.
   

Even with food, Green first.

1. Avoid storing food in plastic. Use reusable glass containers for storing food in the refrigerator, but be careful, not all glass containers can be frozen.
   
2. Never microwave food in a plastic container. Even plastics that are approved for food storage and are ‘microwavable’ may leech chemicals into your food when heated.
3. If you must use plastic wrap, do not let it come in direct contact with your food and make sure that it is not made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC or vinyl).
   

At work, easy ways to be eco-friendly.

1. Take your own ceramic or china coffee cup to work
2. Bring your lunch in a reusable container
3. Set up a recycling program
   

Think, before using Paper.

1. Photocopy or print on both sides of the page and reuse paper until both sides are used up.
2. Reduce the number of copies of any given document.
3. Buy recycled, chlorine-free paper and recycle office paper when you are finished with it.

Save Energy

1. Conserve fuel by turning down the heat at night and while you are away from your home or install a programmable thermostat.
2. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs.
   
3. Insulate your home against heat loss and periodically check insulation.

Conserve Water

1. Fix any leaky faucets, toilets or water pipes. Even a small drip can add up to a lot of water over time.
2. Wash your car the natural way - wait until it rains.
3. Install water saving faucets.
