Today is very special day. It actually has two titles;
Earth Day and First Day of Spring. It is a great time to be thinking about your footprint upon the Lady Earth.
- Do you recycle or reuse everything that you can?
- Do you carpool to work or perhaps work a condensed shift? How about opportunities to telecommute?
- Have you considered shortening your morning shower? Even just a minute a day can sace a lot of water.
- When you purchase new appliances do you make sure that they have a good Energy Star rating?
- Washing a full load in either the dishwasher or the clothes washer will end up with a savings in water, energy and on your utility bill.
- If you have a faucet that is leaking, fix it as soon as you can.
- Bring your own reusable bags when you shop. A lot of grocery stores even give you a credit off the the amount due.
- Purchase locally when possible. Not only will your food be fresher but it takes less energy and pollution to get to your table.
- Make sure that you recycle your old electronics. It keeps them out of landfills and a lot of guts of these devices can be reused.
Those are just a few ideas on how to help this wonderful planet that we live on. Oh and don't forget to take a small walk tomorrow and enjoy the scents and feelings of the first day of spring.
