Earth Day is April 22, 2008…..Think Green…… April 17, 2008
Posted by Sarah in : Updates , trackbackEach and every one of us leaves a Carbon Footprint on this Earth. Here are just a few ways we can reduce our Co2 Footprint and help heal this planet.
1. For those who live in cooler climates, simply turn down your thermostat by 2 degrees.
2. Only run your dishwasher when full and run it on its energy efficient mode.
3. Wash cloths in cold water.
4. Dry half your clothes on a clothesline or on a drying rack.
5. Insulate your water heater.
6. Keep the tires on your cars properly inflated. This will also save on gas mileage.
7. Plug your electronics into a power strip and turn the strip off when not in use.
8. Caulk and weather-strip your home.
9. Clean your refrigerator’s coils and defrost regularly.
10. Replace your incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs.
This and more information can be found in the National Geographic’s Green Guide. Let’s leave this planet better for future generations to enjoy and prosper.
