Question

You can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes. The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of global-warming.

Strategy 1:  Bring your own cup to Starbucks
You'll get a 10-cent discount, and it's one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin	The store won't create more waste when they throw away a cup
Strategy 2: Turn off your computer
When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy	Turning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds
Strategy 3:  Reuse plastic bags
Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag	You're reducing pollution. The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile
Strategy 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom
Most of the toilet paper we use is made from  trees found in forests previously untouched by humans	If every household replaced one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one,424,000trees would still be standing. Look for eco paper towels too
Strategy 5: Buy energy-efficient appliances(电器)
Replace the old fridge with an Energy Star appliance and you'll use 15 percent less energy. It might be a little expensive to buy, but  you'll save money on your electricity bills and help the environment	If we all used one Energy Star appliance at home, it would be like planting 1.7 million acres of new trees
Strategy 6: Plant a tree
Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing	Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5, 000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year
