Focus on the Basics
Clean Water and Air:
Consider purchasing a home
air filtration system to reduce indoor air pollution and a water filter to
purify the water you drink and use for cooking.
Healthy Food Choices:
Choose organic whenever
possible and use a produce wash to rinse pesticides, wax, and other
contaminants off of your fruits and vegetables. Try to reduce your meat
consumption (especially red-meat). Not sure how? Take a free vegetarian cooking
class from Down to Earth.
Save Energy:
Consider switching to a
solar hot water system. The government offers many incentives to make it
affordable, and you can save nearly 40% on energy costs. Also, consider ways to
conserve water like putting your sprinklers on a timer, or getting a low-flow
shower head.
