Happy Earth Day!

Today is a great day to think about what YOU can do to help your environment, not just today, but every day.

Here are a few quick tips:

–Ride your bike vs. using your car. You’ll reduce pollutions in the air & burn calories it’s a win-win!

–Recycle! Now a day it’s easier than ever to recycle: ALL plastics, cardboard, aluminum cans, glass containers & newspapers. I keep a bag in my kitchen & it’s amazing how quickly it fills up. To reduce the amount of waste you produce, buy products in returnable and recyclable containers and recycle as much as you can. The energy saved from recycling a single aluminum can will operate a television for three hours! If your community doesn’t provide containers for recycling, designate a bin in your garage for recyclables

 –Turn the lights out when you leave a room, and either unplug devices or use a power strip switch to keep devices from drawing excess electricity- This will save on the electric bill too 😉

–Cleaning Products– Avoid phosphates, sulfates and bleach, irritants can wind up exactly where you don’t want them-on your plate. Biodegradable and plant-based ingredients, particularly extracts of orange, rosemary and parsley, clear germs naturally.

–Avoid chemicals in foods. Not only are chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides & insecticides hazardous for our health, they are also toxic to our soil.

You will feel GREAT making the world a better place NOW & for generations to come!
