 3 Steps to Going Green
Here are some simple and easy ways to help the environment, one action at a time.
Reuse shopping bags. You can either buy a reusable shopping bag or just carry a small plastic bag folded into your pocket or purse. If you’re not going far, just carry your items in your hand or put them into something you already have with you (pocket, purse, other shopping bag, etc.) Water bottles. If you haven’t bought a reusable bottle yet, it is time to get one. The Swiss company Sigg makes high-quality aluminum bottles and there are many other companies out there. Make sure it closes well and is a good size for your needs. Buy a water filter or purifier at home and then be happy and bottled-water free! (Brita makes filters that can go on your faucet or are part of a pitcher). Recycle paper. If you can, buy recycled paper and be sure to use both sides. You can cut already used paper into halves or quarter and use it for notes, shoppping lists, etc. What do you like to reuse? Post your comments here. |
