Inflating your tires:If you own a car,getting a better gas mileage is when the tires are fully inflated.This is so that it will burn less gas and emit less carbon. Planting native trees:Trees can absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it as an energy source,producing oxygen for us,humans,to breathe. Turning down the heat:Heating and air conditioning draw more than half of the energy that a home uses in United States.Turn down the heat and air conditioning when you leave the house or go to bed. Buying renewable energy:Electricity generation produces 40% of carbon emmisions.Growing number of utilities generate electricity from renewable energy sourceswith solar panels,windmills and other technologies.
