A list from the Environmental Working Group’s website on ten simple ways to save the planet.

1. Use cast iron pans instead of nonstick.
2. To avoid chemicals leaching into food, go easy on processed, canned or fast foods and never microwave plastic.
3. Buy and eat organic vegetables and fruit. Avoid buying these fruits and veggies with the highest amounts of pesticides.
4. Use sea salt, instead of iodized salt.
5. Seal you outdoor wooden structures. Some may be leaching arsenic.
6. Leave your shoes at the door. This cuts down on dust-bound pollutants in the
   home.
7. Avoid perfume, cologne and products with added fragrance.
8. Buy products with natural fibers, like cotton and wool, that are naturally fire resistant.
9. Eat low-mercury fish like tilapia & pollock, rather than high-mercury choices like tuna & swordfish.
10. Filter your water for drinking and cooking.
