Reducing Energy Use - Burning Fossil Fuels is making our oceans more acidic. (Ride a bike, use high efficiency appliances, turn up thermostat a few degrees in summer, down a few degrees in winter.

Avoid products made through environmentally harmful methods such as cosmetics containing shark squalene or jewelry made from coral or turtle shells.
