Ways to help yourself Go-Green around the house. Get active and involved.
1. Use environmentally safe paints and cleaning products whenever possible.
2. Some products that you use at your home or office are made with smog-forming chemicals that can evaporate into the air when you use them. Follow manufacturers' recommendations for use and properly seal cleaners, paints, and other chemicals to prevent evaporation into the air.
3. Conserve electricity. Consider setting your thermostat a little higher in the summer and lower in winter.
4. Participate in local energy conservation programs.
5. Look for the ENERGY STAR label when buying home or office equipment.
6. Consider using gas logs instead of wood. If you use a wood-burning stove or fireplace insert, make sure it meets EPA design specifications. Burn only dry, seasoned wood.
