Greenhouse Gas Reduction

Save the Green


 Idling your car uses twice as much gas as driving.
          Walk, bike, or take the bus.

 About 13 kg of greenhouse gases are leaked every year through poorly insulated hot
 water pipes.
          Purchase foam sleeve insulation for the first nine feet of your hot water pipes.

 Each year, 100 kilograms of greenhouse gases are emitted from the use of gas-
   powered lawnmowers.
          Use an old-fashioned push-and-pull lawnmower.

 Driving at 120 km/h uses 20% more fuel than driving at 100 km/h.
          Drive at the speed limit.

 Half of our greenhouse gas emissions come from the workplace.
          Use 100% recycled paper.

 Making a standard computer and 17-inch CRT monitor requires 240 kg of fossil fuels.
          Purchase computers free of mercury, lead, and other harmful chemicals.
