I recently joined Yahoo! Green, a Yahoo! campaign on saving the planet from emission of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas behind global warming. By joining, you will know how many tons of carbon dioxide you will save per year with your pledged tasks.
Here are my pledged tasks:
1. Air dry my clothes instead of using the dryer. It also saves power!
2. Carpool, take public transit one day per week instead of driving to work. I don’t have my own car so I always take public transportation.
3. Replace my old refrigerator with new energy star one. We’ve been using one ever since.
4. Go meatless for one meal each week.
5. Go meatless for one day each week.
6. Recycle all steel (”tin”) cans in my garbage. I can use them as flower pots.
7. Buy locally grown foods.
8. Buy organic foods.
9. Buy a washable mug for my morning coffee instead of a Styrofoam cup.
10. Get a reusable water bottle containers instead of disposables.
11. Buy vintage clothes instead of new stuff from the mall. Been planning to go to “ukay-ukay” stalls with some friends.
12. Unplug electronics when I am not using them. Sometimes I always forget to unplug the appliances in my room.
13. Shut down my computers and peripherals each night. Usually, I leave my computer and its printer and other peripherals on overnight.
14. Take shorter showers.
Too bad I can’t save my planned tasks because it requires a Zip code for American states. But I wrote it in a piece of paper to remind me always!

We air dry our clothes, already. Then when they’re fully dry, we toss them in the dryer with one scented fabric softener sheet for about 10 minutes (or less) — smells good, removes static and some wrinkles. Saved us a lot of money per year. Been doing it for about 3 years now.
