10 small steps, 10 great strides to being green!

Everyone's fussing about global warming and environmental degradation, but what can the average resident do to help the South West - and the planet?
Today, i would like to launch the 10 small steps, 10 big strides campaign! From unplugging phone chargers when not in use to buying environmentally friendly compact fluorescent light bulbs, we can make the South West greener!
The 10 steps are simple but actionable measures that collectively can make a very, very big difference - they are things that everyone can do!
Here's the list:

Change conventional light bulbs to compact fluorescent ones

Buy appliances with the environmentally friendly ENERGY STAR label

Don't air-condition an empty room

Unplug chargers and appliances when not in use

Switch to green power through your energy provider

Walk or take public transportation or join a car share scheme

Recycle your glass, metal, paper and plastic

Bring your own cloth bag to the supermarket

Use green cleaning products

Switch to paperless bank statements and online bill paying.
