Decrease Energy Use

Most electricity-generating methods pollute the air.  Unless you are using electricity from wind farms, you can assume that the more energy you use, the more air pollution will occur.
 

 
There are many actions you can take to reduce your energy consumption.  Here are some ideas to get you started:

• You can upgrade to newer appliances, many of which are substantially more energy efficient than older models 
• You can turn down the thermostat in winter and turn off the air conditioner on moderate summer days
• You can use long-lasting CFL light bulbs
• You can hang clothes to dry
• You can wash clothes in cold water
• You can turn off computers and electrical appliances when not in use
