Happy Earth Day!!
I wanted to send you all an e-mail to say Happy Earth Day, and to suggest everyone to make one Earth Day Resolution, earth friendly oriented. No matter your commitment to this cause, try to implement one change and commit yourself to it! There are so many ways we can improve our footprint on the earth. There are also many different reasons to, including saving money!!! Personally, I am choosing to use reusable bags for 100% of my store visits. I am going to carry an emergency one in my car at all times for those unplanned stops as well. I will let you know how it goes in a year!!! Here are some examples of things you can do for the earth, to save our precious natural resources, and store some extra money:
(1) Turn off the water when you brush your teeth
(2) Use Reusable bags
(3) Turn off unneeded lights
(4) Make sure all lights are turned off when you leave the house
(5) Use the natural warm and cool air to help your active heating and cooling systems
(6) Save shopping for a one trip occasion
(7) Purchase clothes, linens, and household items that are made from renewable materials such as bamboo
(8) Don’t use a car if you can walk
(9) Wash clothes only when you can fill the washer full
(10) Turn off electronics when not in use
(11) Unplug electronics that are not frequently used (toaster, coffee pot, electronic chargers, lamps in guest rooms, etc) even though they may not be in use, they are still taking electricity!
(12) Purchase energy efficient appliances
(13) Plant foliage to help keep your house cool in the summer
(14) When driving, anticipate stops and avoid speeding up excessively fast
(15) Take short showers
