  2. Ways to erase my carbon foot print • During the day after my cell phone has charged all night, I unplug the charger from my wall. • Doing this allows energy to be conserved and not wasted when the charger is not being used. • Only 5% of the power drawn by cell phone chargers are actually used to charge phones. The other 95% is wasted when you leave it plugged into the wall, but not into your phone.

  3. Showering • When I take my shower I always try to limit my time. • I always used to take twenty minute showers but now that I know that a lot of water is wasted I take 10 minute showers. • saving money

  4. Showering cont. • Also when I shower I always shut the lights off. The only light that is on when I shower is the shower light. It saves energy because even though the room I am in is being used, the lights aren’t on.

  5. Brushing my teeth • When ever I brush my teeth in the morning and at night I always shut off the water. This “saves water for the fish” and allows me to feel good that I’m conserving water.

  6. Energy safe lights • My family just recently converted all of the lights in our house to energy safe lights. • It took some getting used to because they aren't as bright as the old bulbs we used to have. They also are dim when you first turn them on, but get a lot brighter after they have been on for a few minutes.

  7. Water bottles • My family no longer buys the big 24 packs of water for everyone to drink. • Instead they invested in the Sigg water bottles for us to drink out of. • The bottles themselves are recyclable and they limit my plastic waste use.

  8. Plastic bags • When my family goes grocery shopping they no longer use the stores plastic bags • They use the reusable bags that the store provides. • This is a plus because they get a discount on their groceries and they also are limiting their plastic waste

  9. Disney’s messages to younger kids • Disney Green Project

  10. Erasing my carbon foot print will help the world, everyone around me, and myself.
