Happy Earth

Discussions on global warming has opened my eyes to how we contribute to this phenomenon. In our own little ways  we can help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases released in our atmosphere. So what can we do help save our one and only planet Earth?
  • Turn off lights when not in use
  • Switch to energy saving bulbs or compact flourescent light bulbs
  • Unplug unused appliances
  • Plant a tree 
  • Use natural household cleaning products instead of cleaning products with hazardous chemicals
  • Use natural alternatives to mothballs
  • Minimize use of pesticide
  • Recycle paper and other plastic products
  • Reduce use of disposable cups by bringing with you your own mug
  • Carpool with friends
  • Use a glass when brushing your teeth
  • Use a basin when washing dishes
  • Work close to home or better yet work from home 
  • Wear vintage clothes. 
These are just a few things we can do. you can view more here.Bottom line is to save water, save energy and save our planet!
