1. Tips for Reducing your Carbon
Footprint 3
Part 3 of 3 in the Tips for
Reducing your Carbon
Footprint Series
2. Turn it off!
• Turn off lights and unplug
electronics when not in
use.
• Using a power strip can
make this easier because
all you have to do is click
the power switch on or
off (just make sure your
electronics are turned off
before doing so).
3. At Home Heating & Cooling Systems
• Properly maintain your
heating and cooling
systems.
• Turn down or off your
central heating when
not at home.
• Make sure your home
is properly insulated.
4. Washing Laundry
• Always wash a full load of
laundry.
• Choose the cold-water
setting when washing
clothes.
• Heating up water takes a
lot of energy. Plus many
detergent companies are
making detergents specially
designed for cold-water
washes.
5. Drying Laundry
• Clean your dryer lint
catch before drying
clothes. This will
reduce your energy
consumption and
drying time.
• Better yet hang clothes
on a drying line than
tumble drying them.
6. Means of Transportation
• Carpool when going to
work, school, or other
group outings.
• Use alternative methods of
transportation, like
biking, walking, or public
transportation.
• Take direct flights. Making
numerous stops when
flying increases polluting
emissions.
7. Little Tips
• Reduce the amount of
junk mail being sent to
your home by having
your name removed
from 3rd party mailing
lists.
• Fill your kettle or
coffee maker with only
as much water, as you
need.
8. Little Tips
• Purchase energy
efficient appliances.
• Planting one tree will
absorb one ton of
carbon dioxide over
its whole lifetime.
9. Food Purchases
• Purchase organically.
There is a higher chance
that organically grown or
raised food is more eco-
friendly.
• Buy foods that are in
season locally. Foods that
are not in season may
have been flown in and
therefore consumed
energy.
