My Tattoo Supports to Fight Global Warming!
*Here are 10 simple things you can do and how much carbon dioxide you will save doing them*

1. Change a light -Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
2. Drive less -Walk, bike, carpool or take metro transit more often. Youˇ¦ll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you didnˇ¦t drive!
3. Recycle more -You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household wastes
4. Check your tires -Keeping you tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere
5. Use less hot water -It takes lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low-flow showerhead (350 pounds of CO2 saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds per year)
6. Avoid products with a lot of packaging -You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%.
7. Adjust your thermostat -Moving your thermostat down just 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
8. Plant a tree -A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.
9. Turn off electronic devices -Simply turning off your television, DVD player, stereo, and computer when youˇ¦re not using them will save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
10. Be a part of the solution -Learn more and get active at www.climatecrisis.net
