1. Instead of using a car, just walk or take a bike to wherever you have to go! Using a bike or just walking is a big plus not just on the environment, but on you! By not using vehicles you are exercising and saving big money on gas, car washes and any car repairs. You're also avoiding a lot of traffic which is a big win now that the gardeners expressway is closed for two years. If you can't walk or bike use public transportation or carpool!

2. Using too much electricity is a big problem in our society these days, because of the obvious reasons, electricity bills are getting higher, theres too many thing in the house that are wasting electricity and how we revolve almost completely around it. Yes these things are true but its extremely easy to use alternatives and reduce electricity use,.You can first start by turning on things when they are needed only, for example, don’t keep lights on in a room you aren’t using, turn computer, tvs, radios etc off when you leave the house or when you arent listening or watching it. A big step on using alternatives on electricity is solar panels or wind turbines, if you're up for paying for it and getting someone to connect it in with the rest of your house.
