Tips for Healthy Living!

Protect the atmosphere.
Protect yourself!
  • use less fossil fuels -- ride the bus, ride a bicycle or walk whenever it's safe and possible.

  • Plant trees and other plants, which will take up carbon dioxide from the air.

  • Try to save energy. Turn off lights and appliances when not in use.

  • Save on heating and air conditioning by wearing sweaters when it's cold and short-sleeved shirts when it's hot.

  • Add insulation to your house to keep warm air from escaping in winter and cool air from escaping in summer.

  • Look for products in spray cans and coolants that don't contain CFCs.

  • When in the sun, wear a hat and a shirt with long sleeves.

  • Always wear sun screen and sunglasses that protect against UV radiation!
