how you can help

There's Hope. Solutions already exist today that will drastically reduce an individual's ecological footprint.

  • When shopping for a new vehicle, choose a vehicle with low green house gas emissions and a high fuel economy. Visit EPA's Green Vehicle Guide for help.
  • Make the switch to energy efficient light bulbs that will cut energy consumption by 80%. Visit EDF's Energy-Saving Light Bulb Guide to see the abundance of designs available. This is a no-brainer because it saves you alot of money as well!
