Mayor Menino's Climate Action Pledge
I pledge to take these 10 greenhouse gas-reducing actions:
| Replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. | |
| Use warm or cold water instead of hot for laundry. | |
| Plan car-free days. Walk, ride a bike, or take public transportation. | |
| Plant a tree. | |
| Turn the thermostat down in the winter and up in the summer, especially at night and while away from home. | |
| Recycle as much as possible, including newspapers, glass and plastic containers, and aluminum and steel cans. | |
| Unplug electronic equipment when not in use. | |
| Re-use paper and plastic bags; or better yet, bring a re-usable bag to stores. | |
| Buy locally grown food when available. | |
| Spread the word! Tell family and friends about climate action. |
