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.
