- Walk or ride a bike, avoid using the car and when necessary travel arrangements with other practice car pooling. The fuel for transportation is responsible for 40% of oil consumption.
- Avoid buy new sports equipment such as footballs or basket when they can last many years. A quarter of the balloon is made of plastic.
- Use only reusable bags, why waste energy and resources to use for a few minutes?
- Follow a diet conscious, it can reduce oil consumption by changing your diet, eating less meat, eating local and organic food products that do not require the use of petroleum-based fertilizers often.
- Non comprare nuovi make up , la maggior parte dei cosmetici come smalti, ciprie rossetti sono a base di petrolio e quando risulti necessario l'acquisto si possono trovare delle marche che non lo contengono.
- Bere l'acqua del rubinetto per evitare lo spreco delle bottiglie di plastica. Quando ci si sposta si può utilizzare una borraccia.
- Evitare di acquistare nuova tecnologia che consuma sempre molto petrolio, utilizzare l'elettronica che ancora funziona bene, non è necessario avere sempre l'ultimo ritrovato.
- Evitare l'acquisto di nuovi Dvd e BluRay : il petrolio è il materiale chiave per la loro produzione, packing and shipping. Better to go to the movies or watch movies in streaming.
- not buy new clothes, the clothes can be exchanged with friends or purchased at vintage shops. Less clothing products is equivalent to a saving of oil.
- Do not buy books and to use the printer , you can go to the library or read online, oil is used in this case for making paper.
