In celebration of Earth Day - I thought I'd give you some "green" tips. Unfortunately I don’t have enough room here to give you a billion tips, so how about 10?
1. Use a reusable water bottle to keep plastic out of our landfills and oceans.
2. Keep your own utensils at work and avoid plastic ones.
3. Change out your light bulbs for LED or CFL bulbs.
4. Unplug those “vampire” energy suckers like hair dryers and coffee makers.
5. Use an eco-friendly power strip if you need to keep things plugged in.
6. Use non-toxic, biodegradable household cleaners.
7. Eat local, organic and sustainable foods.
8. Use reusable shopping bags.
9. Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth or while drying your hands.
10. Pledge your act of green on the Earth Day website and tell all your friends to get on board!
One person’s actions can make a difference.
