Happy Earth Day
In honor of Earth Day I wanted to give some quick, easy tips to minimize your impact today:
1. Take a shorter shower or go without (it’s just one day)
2. Turn off the water while brushing your teeth and washing your hands
3. Challenge yourself to go without buying or throwing out any plastic
4. Use a reusable water bottle or coffee mug
5. Bring your own lunch
6. Walk, ride, take public transportation, or carpool to where you are going
7. Turn off the lights, and only use what you need
8. Turn off the television, computer, and other electronics and instead spend some time with friends and family, read a book, or go outside
9. Eat local food and vegetables for a delicious, earth and human friendly meal
10. Count the things you throw away today or see if you can go all day without needing to put anything in the trash (not including recycling or compost)
Are you doing anything special today?
