Help the Environment 1 Step at a Time April 15, 2008

Ways to make an impact on a daily basis :

• 1. THE THREE R’s: Reduce, reuse and recycle.
  2. Avoid buying what you don’t need.
  3. Buy more efficient appliances.
  4. Stay close to home (in more ways than one): Shorten your commute, eat food grown bearby, patronize local businesses.
  5. Walk more! Not only will you save on gas, but its also good exercise!
  6. Drive less. Walk more. I can’t say this enough.
  7. Support organic farming. It’s good for you AND the Earth. I’m telling you, you can’t lose.
  8. Prioritize and buy smart. Yeah, sure, you’l save 20 cents if you buy bulk, but think if you are really going to eat that whole bag of apples before it goes rotten. Do you REALLY need another tube of lip gloss?
  9. Buy a water purifying system. The water will taste better, and you will notice the difference in your skin and hair when you shower.
  10. Buy organic products. Believe me, i’ts a win-win situation. You are doing good for your body (since the products don’t contain pesticides, preservatives, added chems that do your body harm and may be carcinogens) and it takes less chemicals and processing to make these products than those that are non-organic.
