Clean Air
  • Painting your house? Use a latex paint. Oil-based paints release hydrocarbon fumes.
  • Get a tune-up. Properly maintained vehicles get better gas mileage and emit fewer pollutants.
  • Don’t top off your gas tank. Overfilling causes spills that release hydrocarbons and other toxic chemicals into the air.
  • Conserve energy. You’ll lower your utility bills and help avoid peak demands on utility plants.
  • Don’t burn your yard waste. It’s illegal in many areas of Ohio because burning yard waste releases mold spores, soot, and other contaminants that can aggravate allergies and cause respiratory problems.
  • Plant a tree. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
  • Park the car. Walk, bike or use mass-transit whenever you can. Vehicle traffic is a major contributor to smog.
Clean Water
  • Use less fertilizer on your lawn. When it rains, excess fertilizer runs off into storm sewers and pollutes streams.
  • Never pour anything – especially waste oil or leftover lawn chemicals – into a storm drain. It will end up in the nearest stream.
  • Don’t trash our streams. Volunteer groups sponsoring annual cleanups find everything from old tires to old appliances in our waterways.
  • Water your lawn in the early morning, when the water will soak in and not evaporate in the heat of the day.
  • Don’t water more than once a week, and then only if it hasn't rained. Established lawns need only one inch of water a week.
  • Don’t water the sidewalk - it won’t grow. Set your sprinkler to keep the water on the lawn.
  • Mulch around your landscaping. A three-inch layer of mulch holds moisture and prevents evaporation, reducing the need to water.
  • Use a bucket when you wash the car, instead of the hose. Letting the water run while you work costs money and wastes water. Only use the hose to rinse.
  • Sweep your driveway and sidewalk instead of cleaning them up by spraying with the hose.
  • Don’t do the dishes until you have a full load. Your dishwasher uses 12 gallons of water whether it’s full or half-empty.
  • Wash a full load of laundry. Your washing machine uses 40 gallons of water. Run it full, or adjust the water level to the size of your load.
  • Don’t let the water run while you shave or brush your teeth. Turn it on only when you need it. Every minute the faucet runs, five gallons of water go down the drain.
  • Take a shorter shower. And switch to a low-flow shower head.
  • Repair leaky faucets and toilets. You can tell if the toilet leaks by putting food coloring in the tank. If color shows up in the bowl without flushing, there’s a leak.
  • Install faucet aerators. You can cut your water usage by up to six percent.
Clean Land
  • Recycle. If your community does not offer a recycling program, ask local officials to start one.
  • Don’t put hazardous materials in the trash. Save paints, pesticides, lawn chemicals, car batteries, waste oil and similar materials for your local household hazardous waste collection day
  • Turn in your mercury thermometer and replace it with a digital one. Mercury is a persistent pollutant that moves up the food chain and can cause serious health problems. Never vacuum spilled mercury. If you have mercury in your home, call Ohio EPA (614-644-3469) to find out how to get rid of it safely.
  • Don’t buy more than you need. When it comes to lawn chemicals, pesticides, paints and other hazardous materials, buy a smaller package so you won’t have leftovers to dispose of.
  • Paper or plastic? Better yet, take a canvas bag to the grocery and re-use it each time you shop.
  • Use both sides of the paper. Set your copier to make double-sided copies and you’ll substantially reduce your paper use.
  • Use rechargeable batteries. Many batteries contain metals that are better kept out of landfills.
  • Give it away, don’t throw it away. Many charitable organizations accept donations of wearable clothing and gently used household items.

  1. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs:
    It is true that these bulbs are more expensive, but they last much longer and they can save energy and in the long term your electricity bill would be reduced.
  2. Donate:
    You have tons of clothes or things you want to get rid of. If they are still usable, give them to someone who needs them. You may also choose to give them to associations. These associations may sell them and collect a little money. Not only will you protect the environment, but you will also contribute to a good cause.
  3. Turn off your devices: 
    When you do not use a house device, turn it off. For example, if you don't watch TV, turn it off. Turn off the light when you leave a room (even if you intend to return.) It's an easy habit to take up which will help you save a lot of money.
  4. Walk or cycle: 
    Driving is one of the biggest causes of pollution. If you want to use your car, ask yourself the following question: do I really need my car? Walk or use your bike if the journey is a short one.
  5. Detergent:
    Follow the recommended dose of detergent to wash your clothes or dishes.
  6. leaky faucets:
    Watch leaky faucets, which can cause a significant increase in the the water bill. An average of 120 liters of water can be wasted due to a dripping faucet.
  7. Rainwater:
    Think of recovering rainwater. This water can be used for different purposes.
