Only slight changes needed to go green

As we journey upon this earth, we leave behind a footprint of carbon dioxide. This contributes to global warming. The smaller the footprint, the more friendly it is to the environment. This is called "Going Green."

Each of us can contribute to the friendly environment by reducing the use of fossil fuel.

It may take only a slight change of our lifestyle. For example, walk or take a bicycle instead of driving a car for short trips.

Also we can use an electric lawnmower instead of a gasoline model.

Other changes like use of florescent bulbs can reduce energy cost.

There are many other small changes we can do to become environmentally friendly.

If we all do our part, it can make a difference. Let's "Go Green."
