Today, April 22, 2010 is Earth Day and this year marks its 40th Anniversary with so many remarkable accomplishments. Although some accomplishments have been done on a global level, it is the individual sacrifices that we’ve all made that keeps Earth Day moving in the right direction. We’ve made recycling our top priority (Roman’s prints catalogs on recycled paper), shut off lights when leaving the room and turned off our computers when not in use.
But as with any change, the steps are ongoing and to kick off Earth Day 2010 right, here are some 10 easy reminders to make the next 40+ years just as successful.
1) Wash clothes in cold water- then air dry them!
2) Invest in reusable shopping bags instead of the standard plastic bags.
3) Use reusable water bottles instead of plastic bottles thereby cutting down cost on recycling.
4) Check for any water leaks in your house and get them repaired as soon as possible to avoid wasted water.
5) Run a fully loaded dishwasher- we all fall into the trap of doing just a handful of dishes to save time, but a fully loaded dishwasher is much more energy efficient.
6) Turn down your thermostat even by just a degree and save 1 to 3% on your heating bill.
7) Have fun and create your own garden of vegetables and enjoy daily fresh and delicious meals!
