To celebrate Earth Day I am posting my seven best “Green Ideas” that will save energy, money and make for a healthier living environment. If you haven' t implemented any of these suggestions try to start small and make an Earth Day commitment to at least one green idea. Like anything in life, the small things add up.
1. Buy a programmable thermostat and reduce your energy consumption by planning your energy needs.
2. Avoid buying plastic bottled water. Try to reuse everything, especially plastics…and recycle.
3. Reduce your water use. Make sure you have low-flow faucets, shower heads, and toilets.
4. Buy locally made food products and locally produced services. Healthy food, environment and economy. Try a local Farmers Market.
5. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs. By using energy-efficient light bulbs you will save energy and money.
6. Turn off lights and electronics when you leave the room. Unplug your cell phone charger from the wall when not using it. Turn off energy strips and surge protectors when not in use (especially overnight).
7. Recycle your paper, plastics and other items that your local waste pick-up will take.
