ROME - Better insulation at home, less use of the car and even giving up an electric toothbrush can help people in rich nations halve emissions of greenhouse gases, a UN report said on Thursday.

I am proud to say I have already abandoned my Crest electric toothbrush.....having eliminated the use of one AA battery every nine months I feel I have done my fair share in reducing the carbon footprint of the state of Michigan......
