1 - Walk, Bike (run, skate, move yourself!) Get out of your car! Walking or cycling is much better for our planet’s health (and your own) than even driving a hybrid or an electric vehicle. Even if it’s just a couple trips a week you will be making a big difference.
2 - Ride the bus to work (or carpool) Try the bus out. Make a commitment to use public transportation at least once a week. You can even ride your bicycle to your nearest bus stop to make your commute easier. Most buses are equipped with bicycle racks on the front of the bus. Post a mes- sage on your company bulletin board to carpool with a colleague. Even carpooling once or twice a week helps
3 - Change a Light Bulb Wherever practical, replace regular light bulbs with compact florescent light (CFL) bulbs. CFL’s last 10 times longer than incan-descent bulbs and use two-thirds less energy.
4 - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Reduce waste by choosing reusable products instead of disposables. Buying products with little packaging (including the economy size when that makes sense for you) will help to reduce waste.
5 - Use Less Heat and Air Conditioning Add insulation to your walls and attic. Installing weather stripping or caulking around doors and windows lowers your heating costs by more than 25 percent (reducing the amount of energy used to heat and cool your home).
6 - Plant a tree Planting the right trees around your home or in the parkway can help shade your home and reduce your energy usage during our hot summers.
7 - Buy a fuel efficient car (or hybrid vehicle) Buying a new car may be one of the biggest environmental decisions you will make. A fuel efficient vehicle will save you money and pollute less than larger, heavier vehicles.
8 - Buy local goods and products Whether it’s getting the food you eat from your local farmer’s market, or the clothing on your back, buying locally not only supports our local economy but it also can save thousands of pounds of CO2 that are emitted by shipping and transporting of goods made overseas.
9 - Inflate your tires Keep the tires on your car adequately inflated. Check them monthly. Save 250 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $840 per year.
10 - Change the AC Filter Clean or replace dirty air conditioner filters as recommended. Save 350 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $150 per year.
<span>It must measure the supergranules. This refers to the physical pattern casing the exterior of the quiet Sun with an archetypal horizontal scale of approximately 30,000 km and a lifetime of around 1.8 d. Its most noticeable or visible signature is as a fluctuating velocity field of 360 m st-1 rms whose components are mostly horizontal. This was exposed more than fifty years ago, conversely clearing up why and how it originates still represents one of the core challenges of modern solar physics.</span>
