:laugh2: According to Al Gore here are ten things you can do and how much Carbon Dioxide you'll save doing them. Yea right. :laugh2:
Change a light ~ Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light will save 150 pounts of Carbon Dioxide a year.
Drive Less ~ Walk, Bike carpool or take metro transit more often. You'll save one pound of Carbon Dioxide for every mile you don't drive.
Recycle More ~ You can save 2,400 pounds of Carbon Dioxide per year by Recycling just half of your household waste.
Check Your Tires ~ Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more then three percent. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps twenty pounds of Carbon Dioxide out of the atmosphere!
Use Less Hot Water ~ It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low-flow showerhead (350 pounds od CO2 saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds per year)
Avoid Products With A Lot Of Packaging ~ You can save 1,200 pounds of Carbon Dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10 percent.
Adjust Your Thermostat ~ Moving your Thermostat just two degrees in the winter and up two degrees in the summer could save you about 2,000 pounds of Carbon Dioxide per year.
Plant A Tree ~ A single tree will absorb one ton of Carbon Dioxide over it's lifetime.
Turn Off Electronic Devices ~ Simply turning off your Television, DVD player, Stereo, Computer and your Computer Monitor when you're not using them will save thousands of pounds of Carbon Dioxide per year.

I love how his DVD an Inconvenient Truth is packaged in a paper cardboard holder and is it not made from Recycled products. He is anyother hipocrit. He must be good friends with Senator Edwards. :laugh2:
