-- Change Your Lightbulbs - switch out your incandescent and even CFL bulbs to the Lemnis Lighting Pharox LED bulb (available at www.upscalelighting.com) and you will reduce emissions and save money on your energy bills. Plus, they last for 35 years.

-- Turn the Lights Off When You Leave a Room - Lighting uses 19 percent of worldwide energy consumption. Even you can help bring that number down.

-- Use Less Paper - Cut down on mail by paying your bills online this year. But don't forget to send your grandmother a handwritten note every once in a while. She will forgive you.

-- Recycle - If you haven't started this yet, it's about time. Find out what your city is doing.

-- Use Paper Bags - Plastic bags are so passé. Consider buying a reusable grocery bag or stick with recyclable paper.

-- Turn Off the Water When You Brush Your Teeth - Does it really need to be on when you aren't using it?

-- Unplug Unused Appliances - Just because you are not charging your cell phone doesn't mean that the charger plugged in to the wall isn't using energy. Unplug it.

-- Take the Bus or Walk - Do you really need to drive everywhere? You can fit a little exercise into your busy day this way too.

-- Make Wise Purchasing Decisions - If you are replacing appliances, be sure to buy low flow toilets or energy star appliances.

-- Don't Run Your Dishwasher Unless it is Full - Enough said.
