5 Things I Do That I Consider To Be Eco-friendly:
- I have blue bins throughout our home in which we recycle all of paper, glass and plastic products;
- I've made the switch to CFL bulbs;
- I've purchased recyclable cloth bags to use at the grocery store, rather than using plastic bags (besides, the cloth bags hold much more than plastic and are sturdier);
- I don't throw used batteries in the garbage, but I bring them to a proper recycling place so that they don't end up in a landfill; and
- We invested in new windows for our home this fall which our energy efficient.
5 Things I Don't Do, But Could Easily Start Doing:
- I could finally get around to starting that composting bin that I've been planning for the back of my yard (I'd like to start a mini-composting bin for underneath our kitchen sink for table scraps, too);
- Invest in a digital thermostat for our heating system so that we can program the temperature setting more efficiently;
- To encourage the family to be more mindful about leaving lights on;
- Use more eco-friendly household cleaners; and
- Less food waste (our family is terrible with leftovers).
No, that wasn't so hard :-)
REDUCE. REUSE. RECYCLE ... be a good steward of God's green earth.
