Top 10 Ways to Celebrate Earth Day
Earth Day is around the corner and we would like to honor this important day with our favorite ways to celebrate this day of awareness.
1) Eat vegetarian - producing meat generates huge amounts of green house gases and ground pollution.
2) Turn down brightness level on display by at least 20% and preset energy saving settings on computer to cut down power usage more.
3) Throw on a sweater and turn the thermostat down a couple degrees.
4) Dry some or all of your laundry on a line/hanger.
5) Wash you clothes with cold water-the majority of energy in washing clothes is related to heating the water.
6) Take a recyclable shopping bag with you-kill the plastic bag addiction!
7) Turn off the TV and go for a walk!
8.) Switch one or all of your bill statements to online billing notifications-cut out the unnecessary envelopes and paper waste.
9) Put an end to disposable coffee/tea cups and water bottles-take a stainless steel beverage container to your favorite java huts and make your own filtered water at home.
10) Do you really need all those lights on? New habit: leave a room, turn off the light!
Green thinking, saving large, living better.
