Be a Hero

Be a Hero.

Our Earth must remain habitable for millions of other species.

The Climate Foundation needs you to help to save the Earth's climate for all the others that live here.

You can help in two ways.

You can do what you can for our planet (see ideas below)

and you can help support The Climate Foundation as we support the Earth. Contact us for more details.

The former director of the United Nations has implored families of the world to eat at least one vegetarian meal per week as a start to developing sustainable eating. You can shrink your carbon footprint by up to 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide a year if you switch to vegetarian food. ( 9 April 2007 issue of TIME )
The earth is staggering under the weight of too many people. If we don't manage the human population, Mother Nature will manage it for us, and it won't be pretty. If you don't want your children to suffer, having just one child is a great way to start.
Work at home, move near work or start saving up for an environmentally friendly car.
Recycle to reduce the energy needed for raw materials.
Reduce your energy consumption (see below).
Use renewable energy sources when possible.
Offset the remainder of the fossil energy you use.

If you live in a dry climate, you can retrofit your home with strawbale insulation and reduce your heating and cooling bills substantially.

Change your light bulbs to the florescent type.

for every incandescent bulb you replace with a compact fluorescent bulb, you'll save the equivalent of about 500 pounds of coal over the life of the bulb, and you'll reduce carbon dioxide by up to 1,300 pounds per year.

Clean or replace dirty furnace filters on a regular basis.

heating and cooling systems in the US together emit over a half billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air each year.

Weatherstrip your home

weatherstripping an electrically heated house can keep 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from having to be produced. That means that that if 1,000 of these homes were weatherized, over a million pounds of C02 would be reduced.

Ceiling fans circulate air, which lowers heating and cooling bills.

When driving, link your errands together.

Keep your car tires filled.

Turn off your lights when not using them.

Donate your unwanted possessions to charity.
