When you go shopping, bring your own reusable canvas bag

     When possible, reuse plastic bottles instead of throwing them in the garbage or recycle bin.

     Save water in your bathroom! Use low-flow faucets, showerheads, and toilets..

     Get information on where does the food you buy come from. The closest to your town, the better! Buy locally-made food, in order to have a better grasp on its origin and quality!

     Try buying seasonal food products.

     Replace incandescent light bulbs in your house with fluorescent ones.

     When you leave the house, make sure that all lights and electrical appliances are turned off. Also, unplug the chargers of mobile phones and laptops once you are finished using them.

     Have recycle bins for different types of waste: paper, plastic, glass or organic. You can then transport them to the closest recycling station.

     When the weather allows it, walk or cycle to nearby destinations instead of taking your car.

     Consider using organic cleaning products, like vinegar or baking soda. Although they do not have a fancy brand, they are cheaper and sometimes more efficient than commercial cleaners.

     When buying a car, consider energy-efficient or electrical options.

     If there is a green energy company in your area, do not hesitate to switch your energy provider for the more environmental-friendly alternative.

     Reduce the length of your showers or shut off the water while you are soaping or shampooing.

     Reuse domestic wastewater for gardening or flushing your toilet.

     When buying new appliances for your home, choose the most energy-efficient ones.

     When possible, avoid drying your clothes in a drying machine. Instead, dry them outside, on a line.

     Try to reduce your use of paper as much of possible. When you have to print something, do it on recycled paper, on both sides.

     If you are already a green person, spread the word! Teach your friends and family members about the importance of taking care of the environment!

     When going on vacation, choose wisely your mean of transportation. An average new car generates 160 g/km of CO2 per person, a plane 100 - 250 g/km, a bus 40 - 80 g/km, and a train 40 - 160g/km. Only use the plane for distances longer than 700 km. For the rest, use the train.

     When picking the right hotel for your vacation, choose one that has an environmental certification, like Eco Label or EMAS. You will have the guarantee that you will be consuming wisely.

     Put a lid on your pots when cooking! This way, you can save up to a quarter of the energy needed for preparing your food.

     During summer months, try to cool off without using the air conditioning system all the time.
