This is from a post on the Greenpeace web site:

  1. Carpool, cycle or use public transport to go to work.
  2. Prefer products packaged without plastic.
  3. Buy organic fruits and vegetables (fertilisers and pesticides are based on oil more often than not).
  4. Buy beauty products (shampoo, soap, make-up) based on natural ingredients, not oil.
  5. Prefer localy produced products (less transport involved).
  6. Buy clothes made out of organic cotton or hemp – not from oil derivatives.
  7. Use non-disposable items in picnics and summer festivals.
  8. Quit bottled water.
  9. Fly less.
  10. Demand that your government encourage renewable energy instead of oil.

I think these are great ideas. Let’s do it.
