 The Good Earth
 

Reduce your carbon footprint

Use public transportation, carpool, walk, or bike whenever possible to avoid using your car. It will reduce your carbon footprint.
 

Unplug equipment once fully charged

Unplug equipment once fully charged. Mobile phones, shavers and electric products keep drawing electricity even when the battery is full.
 

Use blank screen saver

If you're using screen saver, use a blank (black) screen. Animated screen savers consume extra power.
 

Use energy-efficient appliances

Refrigerators and freezer account for one-sixth of a home's energy consumption. Go for energy-efficient models when buying replacements.
 

Use reusable towels over tissue products

Choose washable, reusable towels over tissue products like paper towels.
 

Go veg to save the world

Go vegetarian. To produce a kilogram of beef, it takes, on average, 10 kg of grain and 680 litres of water.
 

Conserve plants and animals

Every week about 20 species of plants & animals become extinct. Save them.
 

Buy minimally packaged goods

Buy minimally packaged goods and reduce garbage by up to 30 percent.

 

Travel light for environment

Pack lighter suitcases. It says that world savings would be 2 million tonnes a year if every airline passenger cut the weight of baggage to below 20 kg and bought duty free goods on arrival.

Use recycled paper

Use recycled paper. Making a ton of paper from recycled stock saves up to 17 trees and uses 50 per cent less water.
 
 

Avoid short car journey

Avoid short car journeys. A cold engine uses almost twice as much fuel as a warmer one. Use public transport, ride a bicycle or walk

Fix the leak

Catching a toilet leak at its earliest stage can save a lot of water. Even a silent leak can waste from 30 to 500 gallons of water per day.

Keep your refrigerator door shut

Don't open fridge door regularly. Each minute a fridge door is open it can take three minutes for it to cool down again. Similarly, it can take half an hour for a freezer to regain its temperature once a door has been opened for just 60 seconds.

Drive smarter

Drive less aggressively. Aggressive driving decrease fuel effeciency by as much as 33% on the highway and 5% in city.

Heat water in electric kettle

Use an electric kettle to heat water. It's more energy efficient and consumes half the energy your stove takes.
 

Buy energy electrical appliances

Buy energy efficient electrical appliances. One of the easiest ways to save money on your electricity bills whilst being environmentally friendly.
 

Avoid screen savers

Screen savers are a big energy spend. But turning computers off and on does not take extra energy so don't hesitate in switching off every time you finish using them.

 

Small is beautiful

Drive small car. A small car will produce less pollution than a gas-guzzling big car. It will also cheaper to run.
 

Jog in the park

Why not jog in a park instead of going on the treadmill? The calories spent are the same and you also get to save energy and, thus, the environment.

 

Stop Idling!

Experts have estimated that a vehicle that idles for three minutes with the air-conditioner on, burns fuel required for travelling one km.

 
 

Switch to paperless bills

Many companies now offer online billing. Save paper by switching to it and save trees.

Drive with the windows up

Drive your car with windows up. This reduces drag, thus increasing fuel consumption efficiency and lowering carbon emissions.
 

Keep your freezer full to save energy

Keep your freezer full. It takes less energy to keep a full freezer cool than it does an empty one. If you don't have enough food to fill it, use plastic bottles filled with water .

 

Train eco friendly than car

Take a train rather than a car for daily commuting of 8 km. It saves 1.7 kg CO2 a day.

 

Green up gift wrap

Instead of spending money wrapping paper that ends up in a landfill, make your own wrapping from newspaper, magazines, or catalogs. It will save environment.

 

Don't waste, just compost it

When properly composted, kitchen wastes can become natural soil additives for lawns, gardens, and even house plants.
 

Drive your car judiciously

A car that gives a mileage of 10 kilometers per liter of petrol leaves 232 grams of CO2 per km.
 

Protection benefit

Planting and protecting a tree can contribute to environmental benefits worth Rs 900,000.
 

Use your comp carefully

The total fossil fuels used to make one desktop computer weigh over 240 kg, some ten times the weight of the computer itself. So don't dump your computer in a hurry.
 

Pull the plug and save

Battery chargers, such as those for laptops, cell phones and digital cameras, draw power whenever they are plugged in.
 

Cut down on air travel

Air travel produces around three times more CO2 per passenger as compared to train travel.

Cool it for the fridge

Let food cool and cover them before putting it in the refrigerator. Refrigerator will use less energy and condensation will reduce.
 

Check your air conditioner filter regularly

A dirty air filter reduces airflow and may damage the unit. Clean filters enable the unit to cool down quickly and use less energy.
 

Go for green buildings

Buildings, residential and commercial, account for 10 to 15 per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions, including 70% carbon dioxide and 25% methane.
 

Shut your computer

Shut your computer after the work. The worldwide internet usage alone needs the equivalent of 14 power stations for the necessary computers and servers.

 

Cover your cooking

Covering pans while cooking cuts down on energy spending by up to 90 per cent.
 

Gear up!

Shift to a higher gear at the right time. A vehicle travelling at 37 mph in third gear uses 25 per cent more fuel than it would at the same speed in fifth gear.
 

Don't leave TV on standby

Electronic instruments waste energy even if they are in sleep-mode. A TV if left on standby produces 30 kg C02 in a year.
 

Wind up

Use a wind-up alarm clock rather than an electric one. This saves 48 grams CO2 a day.
 

Toaster saves CO2

Heat bread rolls in a toaster rather than in the oven for 15 minutes. It saves 170 grams of CO2 each time.

 
 

Avoid 'carbon binges'

A return flight across the Atlantic is equivalent to running a car for a year for each passenger.
 

Can you recycle?

The energy saved by recycling one cold drink can is enough to run a TV for three hours.
 

Travel light to save carbon emissions

Pack lighter suitcases. The world will save 2 mn tonnes of carbon a year if every airline passenger cut the weight of baggage to below 20 kg.
 

Power of one

Saving one unit of electricity can save about 500 grams of coal and reduce significant amount of emissions.
 

Fancy gizmos guzzle energy

Watch out for fancy gizmos. They are energy consuming. Plasma TVs burn over four times more energy than traditional analogue sets.
 

Save electricity on your refrigerator

Your refrigerator is the biggest energy user in the kitchen. Don't open refrigerator door regularly. Opening doors of refrigerators 10 times a day consumes at least Rs 10 more than normal power consumption.
 

Take a break, switch off

Even if you take a five minutes break always switch off your computer and lights. It saves energy.
 

Keep air filter clean to save fuel

A clogged air filter will result in lower fuel economy and increased engine wear. A dirty filter can reduce your fuel efficiency up to 20 per cent.
 

Clean your bulbs

Dirty tube lights and bulbs reflect less light and can absorb 50 per cent of the light. Dust your tube lights and lamps regularly.
 

Use sunlight to save energy

Sunlight can be used in many ways to save energy. Use a solar water heater instead of an electric geyser. A 100 litre solar water heater can save around 1500 units of electricity every year.
