My wife and I have made a conscious effort (for many years now) to try to reduce our
carbon footprints. We pledge to continue to 1) use public transportation and walking
as our primary means of transportation, to 2) bring and use reusable bags instead
of plastic bags, to 3) not buy bottled water, to 4) not use air-conditioning, unless
it is absolutely necessary, to 5) unplug electronic devices that are not in use, to
6) do errands in one trip, to 7) recycle, and to 8) use cold water to wash clothes
(#8 will be a new change for us to add to our existing list). |
