    Carpooling usually saves money and is a lot more convenient for me to do. It also saves time to carpool with someone who lives close.

    One of the main producers of meat is cows and cows produce a lot of of methane gas, so reducing the amount of meat we eat can reduce the amount of methane gas.

    Kids everyday print stuff in school, we can put up a sign in the library and let kids know to use double-sided instead of one-sided. Yes, it can be encouraged company wide.
