CoolMom.org 'Three Friends, Three Changes' Campaign

CoolMom.org is encouraging moms to recruit three friends to make three climate-friendly lifestyle changes together. The changes not only combat climate change, they also address concerns of mothers, speak to quality-of-life issues for families, and help build a stronger sense of community. CoolMom.org's climate-friendly changes are:

1. Drive Less, Play Local.
Tired of playing chauffeur? Prevent harmful emissions by driving less and choosing activities close to home. Both the environment and your family will reap the benefits.

2. Set Your Thermostat Lower This Winter.
Set your thermostat 2 degrees lower than you have in the past. Plus, turn it down at bedtime and set it to 60 when you are away for many hours or days.

3. Switch out your light bulbs.
Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs use 70 percent less energy than your old bulbs, and fit right in the same places. And King County has a recycling program for safe disposal after you're done with them. For more info, see: metrokc.gov/dnrp/swd/takeitback/fluorescent/index
