SEVEN WAYS TO SAVE THE PLANET
Earth Day is coming up in April, that time of year when we all ask ourselves, What's the least I can do? Are there ways that I can save the planet without putting in any real effort or time? Here are a few ways to help save the planet:
1. Wash your hands sparingly. Washing many times a day wastes gallons of water, and your hands are never as dirty as you think.
2. Turn off your watch when you're not checking the time.
3. Stop bread waste. Place condiments on both sides of the bread and use just one slice. This saves on oven-baking time and is perfect for today's low-carb lifestyle.
4. Create your own ecologically friendly products. For example, toothpaste: My recipe includes mint gum, peanut butter, and mayonnaise. The consistency and color is perfect, and your teeth stay clean without those tubes clogging up the landfill.
5. When throwing away books, be sure to break the spines first. Unbroken books can lodge in the throats of bears and cougars.
6. Don't walk -- run! Running saves time, propelling you to incredible sales and discounts faster.
7. Wear socks with sandals. My personal favorite. A socks/sandals combo says to others, "I don't care about how I look, I care about our natural environment." You will also save money on expensive habits like having a social life. Spend it on shrubs and flowers instead.
Let's all save the world... together!
