A Little Step toward better environment (1)

Taken from: The Green Book-The Everyday Guide to Saving the Planet, One Simple Step at a Time by Elizabeth Rogers and Thomas M. Kostigen.

Dont ask for ATM receipts
if everyone in US refused their receipts, it would save a roll of paper more than two billion feet long, or enough to circle the equator fifteen times

Try to flush just one less time per day
You'll save about 4.5 gallons of water-as much water as the average person in Africa uses for a whole day of drinking, cooking, bathing, and cleaning.

Take a shorter shower
Every two minutes save on your shower can conserve more than ten gallons of water

Books
Use the library or buy secondhand books. Consider sharing the ones you have with friends or donating them rather than throwing them away. About three billion new books are sold per year, requiring four hundred thousand tress to be chopped down
