Pick 5 for the Environment (from the US EPA)
Sara Burkholder I pledge to do my part! Garden safely, reduce electricity (unplug items not used regularly, collect and use rainwater for gardens and lawns, there are lots of easy things you can do ...
Michelle Swann
To help protect the environment, I pledge to:
Use less water! Take showers instead of baths, fix leaks, and turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. And buy efficient fixtures by looking for the WaterSense label.
Save electricity! Do a home energy au...dit, get programmable thermostats, buy Energy Star products, turn stuff off when you’re done, and change your bulbs to compact fluorescents.
Reduce, reuse, recycle! Try to find products with less packaging, take reusable bags on shopping trips, creatively reuse other products, and recycle what's left.
Enjoy the outdoors safely! Find out the quality of beach water from your state office and get the UV Index to protect yourself from the sun.
Spread the word! Teach others where you work or go to school. Share online by commenting on our blog, or sharing your photos and videos. Encourage people to Pick 5 for the Environment!

Keeping cool in hot weather usually takes energy - turning up the air conditioner, driving to a swimming spot, and more. But using more energy can affect the environment, too.
GayLynn Johnson Yes, I'll give it a stab.

a message for all my friends the EPA is asking for your top 5 things to do for the environment...here's what i submitted, what would you?
the top 5 option are:
fruit, nuts, seeds, vegetables & grains
with those as your five you will: end world... hunger due to animal agriculture due to the inefficient use of water, grain, and soy which causes water/food shortages - not to mention the efficiencies in electricity and petroleum usage. Plus, a veggie diet can prevent: deforestation; soil degradation; oceanic dead zones; air and water pollution; climate change. And the list goes on like dramatically reducing health care costs (go to a hospital and ask who there is a vegetarian better yet vegan. Did I miss a point or two, let me know.Read More
