Earth Day Love

Just wanted to give a shout out to the Earth today! :) HOLLA!!

Here is what I do to try and help make the earth a little better place:

- Wash clothes in cold water (except towels and sheets. I have limits!)
- Do not use bleach.
- Run dishwasher without the dry/heat setting.
- Eat a vegetarian diet. Try it once a week for one meal!
- Therm set at 76 degrees. Gonna be hard to keep it at that in the summer! I like it really cold!
- Use reusable grocery bags at the store. Don’t you love it when you get the evil eye from the cashier? good times!
-Reusable drink containers for Starbucks and a reusable water bottle.
- Trying to cut down on plastic bag use. Anyone know where I can buy reusable sandwich wraps?
- Shutting off any lights when a room is not being used.
- Slowly switching to CFLs. Kitchen: DONE.
- Trying to cut down on paper towel use. Cutting up old shirts and using them works.
- Run multiple errands in the car at once.
- Buy produce, eggs, and meat from local farmer’s markets.

I would like to:

- Line dry clothes.
- Eliminate any need for paper towels.
- Switch completely to organic foods.

- Appreciate my surroundings more!
