We hope you are as thankful as we are for being able to live on this wonderful planet! We also hope you are actively involved in making sure generations to come are able to enjoy it as much as we do!
There are many things we can do as individuals to help save our planet. Below is a short list we came up with, but we also want to know what you are doing as well! Comment and share your ideas!
Recycle- Check out Whole Living's Recycling Handbook. Also check out what Eureka Recycling is doing to help make it more convenient!
Use reusable grocery bags as often as possible.
Stop buying bottled water- Some of our favorite reusable water bottles are: LifeFactory and Sigg.
Get rid of junk mail- Respond to unwanted catalogs and make sure you get off their mailing list!
Purchase energy efficient appliances- I think they cost more up front, but the energy and cost savings over the life of the appliances will be well worth it. Also, use cold water whenever possible to wash clothes instead of warm or hot water.
Use rechargeable batteries.
Use energy efficient light bulbs- Click here for a complete light bulb guide.
Bike or walk when possible.
Organize a neighborhood clean up or adopt a highway.
Switch to Earth friendly cleaning products. Some of our favorites are Seventh Generation and Ecos.
