Greenhouse gases are emitted directly and indirectly from the energy we use. For example, driving, using electricity, and buying and using products all emit greenhouse gas emissions. All activities that support our quality of life like growing food, raising livestock, and throwing away garbage also factor in. Greenhouse gas emissions can be minimized through simple measures like changing light bulbs and properly inflating your tires. Divided by linked categories-at home, at the office, on the road, and at school-this section of EPA's Climate Change site provides 30 easy steps you can take to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions and save money.

Highlights: To save even more, replace your old monitor with an LCD display one. The energy consumption of an average LCD display monitor (flat-panel) is at least half of that for an average CRT.

With the movie An Inconvenient Truth drawing record audiences last summer, and groups as diverse as the “Evangelical Climate Initiative” and the Pentagon sounding the alarm on the coming climate catastrophe, our country could be on the cusp of taking real action on a very real danger. But how much action is enough to match the scale of the solution to the scale of the problem? Based on the data — such as rapidly melting polar icecaps — showing that climate change is happening faster than anyone had thought, it is increasingly clear: Baby steps won’t do it. We need a bold action plan that can evaluate corporate, government, community, and household plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions – especially carbon emissions -- to levels we can live with. Scientists at the Princeton University’s Carbon Mitigation Initiative (CMI) have taken up this challenge, and propose stabilizing carbon emissions by dividing this huge task into smaller, doable action “wedges” of equal size—each with the...

Highlights: Here’s our 12-step plan: 1. Increase fuel economy for the world’s 2 billion cars from an average of 30 mpg to 60 mpg. 2. Cut back on driving. Decrease car travel for 2 billion 30-mpg cars from 10,000 to 5,000 miles per year, through increased use of mass transit, telecommuting, and walking...
