Save Energy in Bedroom

• If you need an air conditioner, limit it's use. Keep the door closed to hold in the cool air and consider using a fan when the air conditioner is not in use to keep the cool air circulating.
• If you have a ceiling fan, during the winter have the blades run counter-clockwise. This will draw heat that's escaping to the roof, and bring it back down to the room.
• Try the new bulbs that are guaranteed to last for five years. These may cost more, but will save money in energy bills and replacements.
• Watch how many electronics are on at one time. Does your printer need to be on when you're not using it? How about your DVD player? Try and see how many electronics are on, and you're not using them. Turn them off if you can.

How to do Wildlife Conservation

Don't wear animal fur, skins, etc.

Eat less meat and dairy products. This saves more land for wildlife. It also saves the animals from a short-life time of severe cruelty.

Get passed and support laws that ban having exotic animals for pets. This includes: snakes, cats like Bengal tigers, wolves, wolf-dogs, monkeys, gators, etc. Get passed laws that punish those who buy and sell these exotic animals severely. Don't buy these animals.

Do not go to circuses, rodeos, or any entertainment shows that feature live animal acts. Often these animals are severely mistreated in order to "train" them.

If you live / vacation in an area where bears have been spotted you have to remember that bears can smell food from a great distance even if it's locked in a car. So be sure to lock up all food in air-tight containers and put trash in bear-proof cans. The less a bear can smell food the less likely it will be tempted to wonder into campsites / neighborhoods. This also works for wild cats, coyotes, and smaller animals like racoons

Shop cruelty free.

Stop the drilling for oil in places like the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge.

Work towards restoring a balance in our national parks. While deer, elk, and other animals are cute and peaceful looking, they can rapidly destroy an area with their huge appetites for vegetation like grass and shrubs. The best way to balance their numbers is by restoring natural predators like wolves, mountain lions, coyotes, etc. These animals, when given a chance, can balance out the numbers of the vegetation eaters without the need for large man-made hunts.

Air Quality Tips

By limiting your energy use, you limit the amount of air pollution that goes into generating electricity.

Limit your use of aerosols. Make sure the ones you buy do not contain CFCs.

Limit your use of personal transportation. SUVs are some of the worst air-polluters.
Make sure to buy a low-emission vehicle.

Use public transportation more often, and press your local officials to have hydrogen or natural gas buses running.

Try to limit the amount of smoking you do if you are a smoker. And please put the butts in an ashtray or in a PROPER sandpit.
