More Ways to Be Green.

Last month I shared ten simple ways to reduce our footprint on Mother Earth.  Today I will share ten more.

• Collect rainwater and use it for landscaping. If you’re worried about mosquitoes, put a cover on it after it rains.
• Bring your own mug or refillable cup to your favorite coffee spot.
• Buy Fair Trade products.
• Carpool as much as possible. And, combine errands so you drive more efficiently.
• Choose reusable rather than disposable products. (razors, pens, cups, cloth napkins, diapers, etc)
• Buy in bulk to avoid excess packaging.
• Donate old cell phones and help save the African gorilla. http://www.eco-cell.org

• Reuse Ziploc bags when you can.
• Purify indoor spaces with plants instead of artificial room fresheners.
