April 22nd is Earth Day. Everyday should be Earth Day, but I do want to participate in this special day to raise awareness.
My family and I have been taking action over the past few months in the following ways: - Recycling as much cardboard, paper, plastic, glass, metal and cans/bottles as we can.
- Putting kitchen waste in the compost - these two actions allows us to put out the "black bin" (regular garbage) only 1 per month!
- Taking our decluttered items to places such as New To You
- We try to walk to work/school or get a ride so that we aren't using two vehicles. This will be more common as the weather improves. I will be riding my bike to work every day!
- Having showers instead of baths and cutting back on the time in the shower!
- Participating in Earth Hour by turning off all the lights and playing "games" ;)!
- Buying less stuff - we strive to by only what we actually need.
How are you and your family trying to make a difference? We'd love to hear about it!
