Set sprinklers to water the lawn or garden only - not the street or sidewalk.
Use the microwave to cook small meals. (It uses less power than an oven.)
Purchase "Green Power" for your home's electricity. (Contact your power supplier to see where and if it is available.)
Scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher; wash only full loads.
Cut back on air conditioning and heating use if you can.
Turn off appliances and lights when you leave the room.
Panasonic, Sharp and Toshiba have teamed up to create Electronic Manufacturers Recycling Management Company, LLC (MRM), a company that will provide cost effective e-waste recycling services to manufacturers.
The program began in Minnesota, which recently passed e-waste collection laws. It will soon work with local and state governments nationwide to facilitate e-waste collection programs.
MRM has already partnered with Hitachi, JVC, Mitsubishi, Philips, Pioneer, Sanyo and Olevia, and has already collected 750 tons of electronics in five months since the Minnesota law was passed.
