50 Simple Ways to Help the Planet

May 5th, 2008, 2 Comments »

Jules points to a handy, easy-to-implement list of simple things that you can do to help the planet. Here are a few favourites:

  1. Hang dry. I also do this because I’m obsessed with my clothes not shrinking.
  2. Go vegetarian once a week.
  3. Telecommute.
  4. Abandon your answering machine. Apparently if everybody switched to voice mail, “the annual energy savings would total nearly two billion kilowatt-hours”.
  5. Pay bills online.

These changes aren’t going to save the planet from environmental Armageddon, but they’re a good start.
