1. Reduce Bottled Water Waste
Approximately 38 billion water bottles are sent to landfills each year
Filter For Good campaign from Brita & Nalgene aims to reduce bottled water waste – and by using a water pitcher for filtered water, with a reusable water bottle, you are replacing 300 bottled water bottles a day

2. Reduce Energy/Water Costs Around Home
Install low-flow fixtures in kitchens and bathrooms
By installing a low-flow showerhead, you can reduce your bathroom water consumption by 40%, save up to one gallon of water a minute, and save up to $90 annually
A great example of this is Waterpik's EcoFlow showerhead

3. Household Chores Doing laundry is a great example of how you can change what you buy in order to go green
Read the label and look for greener choices. For instance, Arm& Hammer's Liquid Laundry detergent contains no dyes, no phosphates – which is important to not pollute our waterways. It has non-toxic baking soda and biodegradable plant-based soaps.

4. Greener & Safer Transportation
One school bus takes 36 cars off the road, saving not only harmful emissions but also saving parents almost $3.00 per day by not having to drive. And school buses are 8 times safer than driving your child.
IC Bus is hosting a contest for "America's Greenest School" at www.americasgreenestschool.com , which is asking for children's essays on their schools going green. The winner receives a $5,000 scholarship and his or her school wins a hybrid school bus worth $200,000.
