Ways to erase my carbon
foot print
During the day after my cell phone
has charged all night, I unplug the
charger from my wall.
 Doing this allows energy to be
conserved and not wasted when
the charger is not being used.
 Only 5% of the power drawn by
cell phone chargers are actually
used to charge phones. The other
95% is wasted when you leave it
plugged into the wall, but not into
your phone.

Showering
When I take my shower I always try to
limit my time.
 I always used to take twenty minute
showers but now that I know that a lot of
water is wasted I take 10 minute
showers.

Showering cont.

Also when I shower I always shut the
lights off. The only light that is on when I
shower is the shower light. It saves
energy because even though the room I
am in is being used, the lights aren’t on.
Brushing my teeth

When ever I brush my teeth
in the morning and at night I
always shut off the water.
This “saves water for the
fish” and allows me to feel
good that I’m conserving
water.
Energy safe lights
My family just recently converted all
of the lights in our house to energy
safe lights.
 It took some getting used to
because they aren't as bright as the
old bulbs we used to have. They
also are dim when you first turn
them on, but get a lot brighter after
they have been on for a few
minutes.

Water bottles
My family no longer buys the big 24
packs of water for everyone to drink.
 Instead they invested in the Sigg water
bottles for us to drink out of.
 The bottles themselves are recyclable
and they limit my plastic waste use.

Plastic bags
When my family goes grocery shopping
they no longer use the stores plastic
bags
 They use the reusable bags that the
store provides.
 This is a plus because they get a
discount on their groceries and they also
are limiting their plastic waste
