Small Changes That Can Make A BIG Difference – Part 2

by Robin Carlton on June 24, 2009

Last week I listed ten small things you can do to make a difference to help make the planet a healthier place.  How did you do?  Did you implement at least one thing from the list?  If you did, congratulations!   If not, maybe you’ll find a few things from this week’s list you can do. 

So let’s get to it!

  • Plant a garden – try a container garden first
  • Buy rechargeable batteries
  • Put unused napkins back in their container
  • Bring your own coffee cup
  • Keep your car tires inflated properly (this saves on gas)
  • Support local farmers  click here
  • Use both sides of paper when printing
  • Turn your thermostat down 1 degree this summer
  • Recycle your old cell phones
  • Wash your clothes in cold water

My husband and I planted a garden a few months ago. It’s been quite the experience since neither of us had any idea what we’re doing.  We’ve learned quite a bit about what not to do, so when we plant again for the fall, maybe I’ll share a few tips. 

Let me know how you’re doing with any of the small changes you made from last week’s list.

Have a happy week! J
