The Easiest Green Tips!

I just gathered some tips that I knew and that I researched and combined them all together! These are just very simple ways to keep your Earth living strong!

  1. Stop idling your car! This is a very easy way to waste gas and pollute the air!
  2. Turn off your computer! If you aren't going to use in less than 20 minutes then put it into sleep mode or turn it off! Keeping your computer off if your not going to use it can save enough energy a day to light one medium sized room for a week!
  3. Set your washer to use cold water! It saves energy because it will not have to heat up the water! Plus you won't have to worry about your washer shrinking your clothes!
  4. Pay bills online, it saves paper, enough said!
  5. Print on two sides of the paper!
  6. Did you know that 100 million trees and 28 billion gallons of water are used to send junk mail each year! Who would of guess that they need water to send mail? You can stop junk mail by signing up at a website called DMA Choice! It only costs one dollar and think how many trees your saving!
  7. Carpooling, anyone? Like they always say one is the loneliest number (in a car!).
  8. Instead of using plastic and paper grocery bags invest in a good canvas bag that you can reuse!
  9. One your incandescent light bulbs burn out change to florescent!
  10. Conserve water by turning off the sink when you brush your teeth, only do full loads of wash, and try taking 5 minute showers!
  11. Stop buying bottled water and try buying big jugs that are refillable! Plus you can get cute little water jug holders that you can have decorated to match your house or any holiday!
  12. Unplug objects when not in use!
