10 Tips From the Religion of Climate Change: How Best To Sin No More

1. Move only if you absolutely have to and if you have to move, do not drive an SUV (John Edwards http://www.wlos.com/template/inews_wire/wires.regional.nc/22b7034c-www.wlos.com.shtml). Also, do not walk to the place you need to go (Chris Goodall http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article2195538.ece).

2. If you have to eat, eat veggies because meat productions is worse for emissions (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=1856817). In addition, try not to eat too many veggies to save for ethanol (http://www.econbrowser.com/archives/2007/07/ethanol_and_foo.html).

3. Instead of flipping on the AC or turning on the heater, try doing without. The less coal or natural gas you use, the better the environment gets (http://environment.about.com/od/faqglobalwarming/f/globalwarming.htm).

4. Try building a house out of less wood, or halting your use of paper by writing in the dirt or on walls. Deforestation hurts the Earth's ability to absorb carbon emissions (http://environment.about.com/od/faqglobalwarming/f/globalwarming.htm).

5. Instead of using a toilet, try burying waste. This will save an enormous amount of water (http://nyc.gov/html/dep/html/ways_to_save_water/dodont.shtml).

6. Because of the large amount of chemicals and toxins involved in some cleaning supplies, use environmentally friendly cleaning supplies only if absolutely necessary (http://www.freemoneyfinance.com/2007/07/downgrading-you.html)

7. Compact Flourescent Bulbs are better for the environment, but its even better to simply not use electricity (http://www.fightglobalwarming.com/page.cfm?tagID=608)

8. To cut down on harmful emissions, try not belching, passing gas, or releasing any form of excrement because methane, a gaseous component which is harmful to the atmosphere, is released (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1590/is_8_58/ai_82554146).

9. Recycle everything you can. For example, a used diaper (look to #8 to save even more!) could fertilize your lawn. Reclaim the water from urine by creating a still. Also, try reusing old cereal boxes and the like for paper.

10. To make the supreme sacrifice, simply choose not to breed in order to end your line of carbon emissions with you (http://www.vhemt.org/)
