Here are some simple tips from Brenda and another explore.org fan on how to save energy and reduce waste:

Cool Down: “We keep our house at 58 in winter, and do not own an AC, but use shades and shutters in summer, with fans at night to cool the house.” – Brenda
Combine trips for errands, and drive a hybrid (or a bike!)
Practice one light per capita as much as possible
Buy produce at a local farm (or local farmer’s market)
Take short showers.
Recycle
Use cloth most times to wipe up spills
