You can make a difference in protecting the Earth’s resources. Here are some resource-saving tips from Environmental Defense:

1. Eat fish caught in an environmentally responsible manner to help keep the marine ecosystem healthy.
   
   
2. When buying a car, choose one in your class with the highest fuel efficiency rating.
   
   
3. Check the air pressure in your tires once a month. Properly inflating your tires improves gas mileage.
