Help the Earth in our own Minnesota ways!

How is Minnesota treating global warming?

Have our own ways!

Here are some ways to help-

1. Purchase green power
Minnesota law requires the state's electric utilities to offer customers voluntary options to purchase power generated from renewable sources that emit far fewer greenhouse gases. Contact your electrical provider for details and sign up for their program.  

2. Reduce your energy use for transportation
Buy a fuel efficient or alternative fuel vehicle.
Drive less – bus, bike, walk or carpool.
If you do drive, don’t idle your vehicle.

3. Reduce energy use at home

Turn your thermostat down in the winter, set your air conditioner higher in the summer. 
Buy energy-efficient bulbs and appliances, look for the ENERGY STAR label.
Get a home energy audit.

4. Plant trees

Trees capture and hold carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, and provide shade, which can reduce the need for air conditioning.

5. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Waste reduction and recycling save energy and resources.

6. Educate others

Share the facts on global warming and encourage all to do their part
