9 Simple Steps to
Save the Earth
1. ) Turn down your water heater. For every 10 degrees,
you save 6 percent of the energy used. The recom
mended setting is 130 degrees.
2. ) Put a plastic bottle in your toilet tank. You can save
between 3,000 and 5,000 gallons of water a year. (Don't
use a brick, because bricks can dissolve and clog the
water system.)
3. ) Install low-flow faucet aerators and shower heads. A
family of four can save 17,000 gallons of water a year.
4. ) Keep your car's tires properly inflated. You will
increase gas efficiency by up to 5 percent. About 50
percent of America's cars have under-inflated tires. If
they were all inflated properly, we could save up to 2
billion gallons of gasoline a year and prevent up to 40
billion pounds of carbon dioxide, the primary "Green
house gas", from entering the atmosphere.
5. ) Bring your own shopping bag. It takes a 15-year-old
tree to provide 700 grocery bags, and grocery shoppers
use billions of bags every year.
6. ) Eliminate waste before you buy. Packaging waste

Sarah Frater
Tribal member
Honored by trip
Hi, my name is Sarah Frater. I just turned twelve July
22nd. I went on a school trip for sixth graders only, to
go to Washington D.C. I went to plenty of places over
there. Some of the places I went to were, The Lincoln
Memorial, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Washington
Monument, U.S. Capitol and The Jefferson Memorial. I
saw the wonderful Iwo Jima Statue. My favorite place
we went to was the White House. I thank the tribe for
giving me so much money to spend. Really! Thanks so
much.
Sarah
I thank Kathryn Harrison and the late Eula Petite and
John Mercier for making this trip possible jand the
American Student Travel in Houston, TX.
Sarah is a 12 year old Tribal member who lives in
Tigard, OR. with her mom, Diane Harrison and John
Mercier. She will be attending Twality Jr. High in the
fall of 1990. She enjoys reading, downhill snow skiing
and bicycling.
accounts for about one-third of all the garbage Ameri
cans send to landfills. For a start, buy eggs in card
board, not plastic foam cartons, and beverages in
recyclable glass or aluminum containers. j
7. ) Replace a regular (incandescent) light bulb with a
compact fluorescent light bulb. It uses a quarter of the
energy and will last 10 times longer and it will keep a
half-ton of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere over
the life of the bulb.
8. ) Buy rechargeable batteries for household use.
Americans use 2 billion disposable batteries a year and
75 percent of them contain mercury, a highly toxic
substance that can leak from landfills into soil and
ground water.
9. ) Set the blades higher on your lawn mower. Forget
the manicured look and cut the grass two to three inches
high. This encourages the roots to grow deeper and
helps retain moisture in the soil, requiring less water.
