· Recycle
as much as you can! Recycling keeps trash out of landfills and out of the
environment where it could harm wildlife.
· Use
actual plates, not paper plates. Paper comes from trees and we don’t need to
kill any more forests than we already have.
· Get
a solar panel if you can afford one. The more we use renewable energy, the more
we can cut back on excess greenhouse gas emissions. You don’t have to hook up
all the electronics in your home to the solar panel if you don’t want to. You
could just connect it to the television or the computer. Solar panels can store
electric power in a battery so you can use solar energy at night. But depending
on your geography, this might not be practical for everyone.
· Get
a tiny home. Tiny homes produce and use energy off the grid which further
reduces our carbon footprint. This tip isn’t for everyone because it limits how
many belongings you can own. Also, owning a tiny home comes with a lot of
responsibility. Tiny homeowners have to dump out gray water, clean out compost
toilets and maintain solar panels. On the bright side, there are no utility
bills and no mortgage. Think about the millions of dollars you could save
without those recurring expenses!
· Use natural lighting as much as possible. Not only does it reduce the amount of energy you use, but also saves money on utilities.

Excerpt:
“Guys. We’ve
just been spotted,” Kara called over their skirmish.
The bickering
halted as the two women swiveled their heads, looking for the threat.
Four reptiles
exploded out of an alley and scrambled across the brick facades as “Another One
Bites the Dust” played in the background.
“Shit!” Selene
shouted. She stomped on the gas pedal, but the jeep barely accelerated.
“The food is
weighing us down!”
Nora intersected
her fingers, spoke a magical word, and the food glowed with her purple energy.
It lifted off the floor a few inches and the jeep sped up.
Wind blew
through the open cabin while the demons gave chase.
Kara’s heart
pounded as malevolent creatures glared at them from above.
Their muscular
legs sprinted over the windows and ledges, their long tails whipping behind
them.
Selene veered
around a corner and the inertia knocked Kara into the door.
Another group of
lizards emerged onto the street and scuttled after the jeep.
Kara unbuckled
her seatbelt and stood up. Her clothes rippled in the wind and her golden hair
lashed against her cheeks. A set of glowing knives appeared in her hands and
burned like stars as the evening settled. She hurled a knife at the closest
reptile and buried it in the demon’s eye.
The creature
tumbled to the street and before it hit the ground, Kara struck down another.
One of the demons took the lead on the right and pushed off the wall.
The lizard
twisted its body and lunged at her with claws outstretched.
She gasped and
ducked beneath it and watched as it flew over her head.
It landed on the
opposite sidewalk and bounded after them. The creature dove for the jeep, but
she pierced its throat with a dagger.
She ripped her
knife free just as another demon dropped from the air and latched onto the
vehicle.
Talons raked
across Kara’s chest, and she cried out. She staggered backward and repelled it
with a rippling shockwave.
Warm blood
seeped through her sweater as she hurled a dagger at the falling demon and finished
it off.
Glowing serpents
leaped out of the front passenger seat and strangled two more lizards.
Kara struck down
the last demon just as five more lizards scrambled around the corner.
She let her
weapons dissolve and brought her hands together at her middle. She muttered a
magical phrase as the wind drowned out her voice. Her center of power roared
like a furnace and unleashed waves of fire that surged into her hands. A white
ball of flame appeared between Kara’s palms and she pushed it forward, unleashing
a steady stream of fire over the street.
The roofs of the
buildings were instantly ablaze.
Demons were
consumed by the flames and Kara watched as their fiery corpses tumbled through
the air.
