If you do this action, you could earn another 9 points [add to points]

According to Energy Star, a U.S. environmental protection agency, copiers and fax machines are the most energy-intensive types of business equipment, because they are paper-intensive, and are left on 24 hours a day. Keep in mind, paper production, in terms of energy used, is second only to petroleum, so using less paper products can only be seen as a good practice [2]

random green tip action

Not all your clothes are dirty - Image courtesy of http://thesituationist.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/women-smelling-clothes.jpg
Not all your clothes are dirty
Before throwing your clothes into the dirty pile, check to make sure they are actually "dirty". Do they smell bad? Is there a stain? Have you worn it more than 3 times? If the answer is no to these questions, you can probably put it back into your closet or dresser and wear it again. This will prevent wasted energy washing and drying clothes that don't really need it.
