Ten Golden Rules

The Green Guide's Ten Golden Rules for living sustainably:

1. Drink tap water.
2. Use active transport, walk, bike or blade and indoors take the stairs - elevators use electricity made by burning coal.
3. Reduce paper use: double sided copy, reuse scrap paper.
4. Eat mostly plants, locally produced and minimally processed.
5. Think about the water you pour down the drain minimize it.
6. Turn off lights, appliances, computers etc when not in use.
7. Turn down the thermostat and wear an extra layer.
8. Use your own mug - not disposable cups.
9. Think before you buy - do you need it - can you share it?
10. Get involved: take action.
