1. Green Recycle: Look for paper, plas?c, and metal (cans) recycling near you. If you do not find one, ask why they don’t have one, and if you can take the material home to recycle, please take the trouble to do so.
2. Respect: Respect the resources you use. Respect results in minimized abuse of resources.
3. Energy: Thermostat at 78 F in summer (if you can’t avoid AC); 65 F in winter (if you need hea?ng). Use efficient ligh?ng as possible. Switch off computers, monitors, etc., when not used for hours.
4. Educate: Talk to people in a pleasant manner hin?ng the possible “Green Living” – Educate through exemplary behavior. Inspire children.
5. No Disposables: If you can, avoid single use items (disposables), especially those, which can’t be recycled.
6. Transporta?on: Car-‐pool; Plug-‐in Hybrid; Bicycle; Less Frequent Travel; Public Transporta?on.
7. Investment: Green Choice; Sustainable Energy; Alterna?ve Energy; Social Choice. 8. Paper: Think before you print; Double sided print; Dispose in recycling containers only. 9. Save for the Future: Think of the future genera?ons. Leave behind no trash, but a
healthy Earth, pure Air, and a treasure of “Knowledge and Wisdom” behind. 10. For You: Be aware where your products (food, clothing, etc.) are produced and how
much energy they consumed before reaching you. Go for low-‐energy footprint products.
