16 WAYS TO A GREENER LIFE
- Use Nontoxic Gardening Techniques
Many gardeners over-apply or improperly apply pesticides,
putting themselves, their families, and pets at increased health
risk. Nearly half of all households have pesticides stored
within reach of children. About 230,000 people each year are
treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries relating to
various lawn and garden tools. Our clean air and drinking water
are affected by pesticides and garden equipment emissions.
Greening your Transportation
- Carpool, Use Public Transportation, Walk or Bike
When Possible
Environmental responsibility does not begin and end at your
doorstep; green transportation means can greatly reduce your
energy expenditures and carbon emissions from your daily
routine.
- Buy a High-efficiency Car
