April 22, 2010

Number 85 on my 101 in 1001 list says: Make an achievable plan of steps to take to have a more environmentally friendly life. Since today is Earth Day, I figured now is a good time to make that list! But first, here are some things we already do: -Recycle cardboard, paper, aluminum, plastic -Drive a hybrid vehicle -Use cold water for laundry & dishes -Minimize use of electricity & use energy efficient bulbs -Use cloth bags for groceries -Drink out of reusable mugs for coffee -Water lawn at night -Buy used when possible Now for the list: Holidays -Put up a real, locally grown tree each year -Make my own cards -Buy energy efficient outdoor LED lights -Choose experiential…
