TEN SIMPLE WAYS TO HELP CREATE A MORE SUSTAINABLE KAUA`I

1. Buy locally grown food and other local products whenever possible. There is a farmer's market somewhere on Kaua`i every day of the week!
2. Buy less! Ask yourself, "do I really NEED this" every time you're in the checkout line.
3. Cut the garbage in your weekly trashcan by composting your food scraps and recycling.
4. Use a reusable water bottle and cloth shopping bag.
5. Walk and cycle more, ride the Kaua`i Bus, and carpool.
6. Consolidate your errands and shopping trips to avoid unnecessary driving.
7. Reduce your energy use by investing in energy efficient products, such as CFL or LED light bulbs.
8. Use your power as a consumer to demand more sustainable goods and services. The Malama Kaua`i Green Map is a good way to locate sustainability-minded businesses.
9. Be an active and informed participant in local government
10. Get involved with an organization or issue that matters to you. Attend a quarterly Eco-Roundtable meeting or use the SaveKauai.Org calendar.
    
    And one for good luck!
