Make a donation to the Arbor Day Society.The trees they plant help the environment through cooling of the earth's temperature, conversion of carbon monoxide not to mention provide animal habitat space and beauty.If you're feeling adventurous, you could even break down and actually plant a tree or two yourself!
Travel club giant AAA has a green competitor.The five year old BWC (Better World Club) offers similar travel benefits and discounts while including special perks like roadside assistance for Bicyclers(!), discounts for cycling gear and bikes, and donations from airline ticket purchases to energy saving groups and carbon offset programs.
Working from home is not just a convenience – it also saves on transportation costs and reduces air pollutants by keeping you out of the car or bus.
Power strips are power savers.Plug in your appliances with clocks or stand-by settings, such as your microwave, TV, stereo unit, coffee pot, etc. so you can switch them all off at once when you leave the house and reduce the power they are using when you aren't even around. Try them in your office, on your kitchen counter, and in your entertainment center.
Cell phone power cords continue to pull significant amounts of power even when the phone is not attached.Unplug to save energy and money.
