It’s the Little Things that Help the Earth

Here are a few ways I have changed in how I am doing things this fall.  Try some yourself.

• I only run the dish washer once a week if possible
• Only have lights on if I’m in the room and need them
• Use re-usable bags when grocery shopping now
• Never keep things plugged in
• Started working from home 1-2 times a week to save on gas
• So far have only had my heat on for 1 day (probably easier for me since I live in a condo building!)
• Started using eco-friendly dish detergent
• Make all regular check-ups so my car is in its best condition to drive (tires, oil, etc.)
• Have cut my hydro bill by about 30%
• Use brita instead of bottled water
