{Happy Earth Day}

I'm rambling now about Earth Day. Have you thought about the things you can do, little things, that can make a huge difference? It's really pretty simple and some of you may be doing some of them already and not even know it. For one, we stopped using hot water a long time ago when we washed clothes. Not because we thought it was helping the Earth but because it meant we didn't have to get the hot water heater heated up and therefore our electricity bill wouldn't be so high. Guess what? Using cold water to wash is one of the tips this website suggests. Along with so many others.

• Shorter showers
• Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water
• Shut your computer down at night(Read this article by the U.S. News)
• Buy energy efficient bulbs(CFLs) one problem is they contain toxic mercury if broken
• Eat less meat
  

There's many interesting suggestions out there that can help us clean the Earth or at least halt some of the damage we cause daily. Check out this article by Good Housekeeping and if you want to read up more on the CFLs you can read this. Not saying you have to purchase the GE brand but that's the kind we got and the FAQ is detailed.

Thanks for reading and Go Green Today.
