Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Now that April is upon us and Earth Day is soon arriving, I thought a ‘go green’ blog entry would be appropriate. Here are some tips for you to live a greener lifestyle.
- Save energy: wash clothes in cold water whenever possible. Use a drying rack or clothesline to save the energy otherwise used by the dryer.
- Save water: take shorter showers and install low-flow showerheads. This can help reduce water and energy costs in the long run.
- Less gas: try to walk or bike instead of taking the car out for every little thing. This cuts back on money and improves your cardiovascular health.
- Eat healthy: buy locally raised fruits, veggies and dairy products whenever you can. Buying from local farmers keeps money in the local economy. So, shop at your nearby farmer’s market.
- Say no to bottled water: Instead of buying bottled water that adds large amounts of container waste, use a reusable water bottle.
There are so many ways that you can help protect our earth and restore it for future generations to come. Start small and make a difference. Here are some links that will give you plenty more tips to be more environmentally conscious and go green!
