\"Green<\/a>As we approach the longest months of summer, you might be using more energy than you realize. The bills are going up and so is the Earth\u2019s carbon dioxide level. What can you do to beat the heat, bank some cash, and save the planet?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Use your fans and windows at home:<\/strong> Air conditioning contributes to smog (especially in big cities) on top of other things. Try using more fans during the day and opening bedroom windows at night.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sunscreen: <\/strong>Protect yourself against the sun\u2019s rays. Get the right sunscreen for you. Remember, a higher SPF isn\u2019t always the most effective: The 2010 Sunscreen Guide<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022 Have a greener BBQ:<\/strong> Believe it or not, there is a green alternative to the traditional BBQ. \u201cGas, propane and electric grills, while not perfect, burn cleaner and more efficiently than charcoal or wood\u2026\u201d Learn more at: Thedailygreen.com<\/a><\/p>\n

This year, why not try a cleaner and greener beach trip. If your in\u00a0Southern California<\/a>, participate in a Heal the Bay \u201cNothin\u2019 But Sand\u201d Beach Cleanup<\/a>. I recommend joining the sign-up list to find out when and where the next clean-up is. If you’re really ambitious, try getting a group together and Adopt a-Beach<\/a>.<\/p>\n
