Paper Towels

Groceries
Hey everyone, today's challenge is to buy paper towels with smaller-size sheets. If you can, select paper towel rolls with smaller-size sheets in order to extend the life of each roll you buy. ( To determine the size, check the package label for paper towel sheet sizes.) A decrease in U.S. household consumption of only three rolls  per year would save 120, 000 tons of waste and 4.1 million landfill dumping fees! So next time you go to do your shopping, don't forget to buy the smaller-size sheets for your paper towel rolls.

Canned Goods

Groceries
Hey everyone, today's challenge is to try to buy less cans of the same product. If you are planning on purchasing several cans of the same product, look around to see if a larger can is available. If you buy a 28-ounce can of stewed tomatoes instead of two 14.5-ounce cans, you will save up to 50 percent on the price, but you will also reduce waste and conserve resources. If every month each U.S. household substituded a larger can of the product for two smaller ones, the annual savings in steel could build an Eiffel Tower on  each of the six continents!

Biking

Outdoor Exercise
 Instead of using your car or motorcycle bike to work, to school or anywhere you are planing to go to and stay on marked paths. You can your intake of fumes by staying on the edge of traffic zones, such as in bike lane s or on bike paths, and you can reduce your exposure to air pollutants by doing the majority of your outdoor exercise in the morning when pollution levels are lowest and by using your bike more often you are decreasing the amount of air pollution. If you want you can bike with family or friends to make a larger difference.
