What We Can All Do
- Cut back on carbons: Google "carbon offsets" to find websites that help you neutralize the carbon emissions for which you are personally responsible.
- Sign up for clean energy: Call your power company to see if it offers electricity from solar, wind and other clean energy sources. Many do, and often for only a little more money.
- Use Energy Star products: From light bulbs to dishwashers, household items are among the most inefficient users of energy in the country. Cut your fuel bill by buying products with the Energy Star seal.
- Drive E85: Many automakers make flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs), which are designed to run on E85 (an 85 percent ethanol/15 percent gasoline blend), as well as regular gasoline or any combination of the two. Check out e85fuel.com for more info.
