SIMPLE WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOT PRINT
Here are 10 easy ways you can start making a difference: 1. Stop buying your water in plastic. Get a reusable water bottle and keep it filled and with you at all times. You’ll save money and the environment! 2. Incorporate walking or biking to some of your regular short-trip destinations. In most instances, you can walk a mile in less than 20 minutes. This is a great way to add exercise to your busy schedule. 3. Turn off lights and unplug devices when you’re not using them. Every little action adds up! 4. Keep the tires on your car properly inflated and get regular tune-ups. When your car’s tires are low on pressure, it has to work harder to move from point A to point B, wasting gas and increasing emissions in the process. 5. Eat more food that is grown or made locally and less red meat. Taste the difference, feel better and support the Austin economy! 6. Use the cold water cycle for washing your clothes. And do your laundry
