10 SIMPLE WAYS TO MAKE THE WORLD
A CLEANER PLACE!
1. LOWER THE SETTING ON YOUR THERMOSTAT. YOU CAN DO THE SAME WITH YOUR HOT WATER TANK.
2. TAKE A POWER SHOWER. ANYTHING LESS THAN 5 MINUTES WILL DO. YOU CAN EVEN SHUT THE WATER OFF WHILE YOU LATHER UP AND THEN TURN IT ON TO RINSE.
3. PUBLIC TRANSIT! RIDE A BIKE! TAKE A WALK!
4. INSTEAD OF USING A SINGLE-USE CUP FOR COFFEE OR TEA, TAKE A RE-USABLE MUG.
5. "ONE MAN'S GARBAGE IS ANOTHER MAN'S TREASURE". DONATE USED ITEMS RATHER THAN JUNK THEM.
6. TAKE RE-USEABLE CLOTH BAGS SHOPPING. IT TAKES TIME TO GET IN THE HABIT, BUT IT'S WORTH IT.
7. WATER YOUR LAWN IN THE EARLY MORNING. BETTER YET, EVER HEAR OF xeriscaping ?
8. WHEN SHOPPING, MAKE A POINT OF BUYING ITEMS WITH LITTLE OR NO PACKAGING. CONTACT THOSE COMPANIES WHO OVER PACKAGE AND POLITELY ASK THEM TO KNOCK IT OFF.
9. USE A RAIN BARREL TO CATCH RAIN. USE THE WATER ON WARM DAYS FOR YOUR FLOWERS OR GARDEN.
10. REDUCE! - RE-USE! - RECYCLE!
