Conservation:

Hilly Glen Park makes a perfect gym. Ditch your monthly membership and get your exercise by making as many errands "walking errands" as you can.

You can get to the beach, the zoo (via the 23), the deYoung, Golden Gate Park (via the 44), and every neighborhood between here and downtown without making a single transfer using public transportation. Great for big groups! No hassling with parking!

Many sites offer carbon calculators to help you assess you "energy footprint."

SFPUC offers energy assessments and rebates.

Reduce your junk mail.

SF has an agency dedicated to reducing, reusing and recycling. It has useful conservation links.

Time magazine lists 51 easy-to-read ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. The printed magazine listed the estimated impact, which is useful enough that I'll try to find it to scan it in here. If anyone has it, please contact the webber.

Good Housekeeping even suggests superhero plants.
