You Can Make a Difference

Buying offsets to balance your carbon emissions is important. But there are other things you can do to fight climate change.

Buy:

• A fuel-efficient car
• Renewable electricity
• Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL’s) instead of regular incandescent bulbs
• ENERGY STAR appliances
• Wood that has been sustainably forested

At home:

• Unplug your extra refrigerator or freezer
• Get a home energy audit
• Plant a tree
• Think before you drive – look for alternatives like mass transit, biking, walking and carpooling
• Tell your elected leaders you care about climate change
