2. REDUCE
- Use local suppliers and carpool to limit vehicle emissions.
- Rely on technology for information storage.
- Use recycled or reusable materials when possible (coffee mug vs. Styrofoam cup).
3. ENERGY EFFICIENCIES
- Turn all switches to “off” when not in use and set temperatures back.

- Replace incandescent bulbs with compact florescent bulbs.
