Simple things like turning off appliances while not in use and switching your light globes to energy efficient bulbs, will all hep us reach our goal of reducing our annual emissions by 5%. Even something as simple as turning out lights when you're not in a room and switching to cleaner sources of electricity like "green power," make a big difference.
