Walk or ride

Walking or riding a bike to commute or run errands saves gas and money AND improves your health too!

Link your trips

Group your errands.  You'll save gas and time by eliminating extra trips.

Stay steady

Select safe products

Use non-toxic, non-aerosol cleaning and beauty products to improve indoor air quality and your health.

Power down

Reducing electricity use saves money and the environment. Use energy-efficient bulbs and powerstrips for appliances and electronics.  Turn them off when you're not using them.

Buy Local

The shorter the trip to get to you, the less gas it requires.
