I’ve been thinking about the little things we can do to make our planet just a little bit healthier. Most of the time, these little things not only make a difference to our environment, but you’ll find that you’ll be keeping more of the green stuff in your wallet too.
I’ve compiled about 60 ideas of things that we can do to help out Mother Earth. I’ve decided to break them down into six parts and I’ll post a set of ten weekly. This will give you an opportunity to pick a few and implement them each week. Before you know it you’ll have made some pretty small changes that can add up to make a really BIG difference. So, here’s the first ten.
- Use cloth napkins
- Switch to energy-saving bulbs ( I did this one already)
- Hang dry your clothes (hey, before you know it, it’ll be warm enough to dry your clothes in minutes outside!)
- Make you next outfit vintage
- Pay your bills online (this one’s pretty easy)
- Just say no to plastic bags – (I’ve got about a dozen or so cloth bags that I keep in my car so I’ll have them available when I’m shopping)
- Unplug your appliances when there not being used – (this is a work in progress for me)
- Taste test a local wine
- Rediscover the library – (I love the library!)
- Switch off your computer when your not using it – This is especially a good idea when monsoon season arrives
These are just a few ideas to get you started this week. I’ve already been doing some of this things and I think I’ll try to add at least one more to my list. How about you? Will you pick one or two things you can do this week to make a difference.
