3. Hand wash your dishes or use plastic cups, plates, forks, ect. instead of running the dishwasher.
4. When showering, only shower for 5 minutes, do this by setting a timer and when it goes off, get out.
5. Turn all electronics off at night, you're not using them so why have them on?
6. Unless it's a rainy day, open your curtains to get light, and don't turn them on unless needed.
7. When your brushing your teeth, don't let the water run, each person will svae 8 gallons of water a year by doing this.

The best way to fight climate change is to donate to either a well known charity, or a non-profit carbon offsetter. Websites like www.CO2Debt.com screen charities for efficiency and allocate donations to them. You can look for other carbon offset programs, but a lot of them are for profit, Co2debt.com is a non profit group.
