- Line-dried 1 load of laundry once a week, we’d save 836 million pounds of CO2 per year
- Turned down the thermostat 2° (to 68°) in winter and up 2° (to 78°) in summer, we’d save 26 million pounds of CO2 per day
- Unplugged their electronics when not in use, we’d save at least 13 million pounds of CO2 per day
We’d say 20 billion pounds of CO2 per year, the equivalent of 2 million fewer cars on the road for 1 year!
