Ok. So lately I’ve been thinking more and more about the environment and what I can do to help.
And since today is Earth Day ( check Google for lots of great links), I am making an official resolve to start doing my part.
My first step is simple, but big. I am going to start recycling my papers. I get the paper every day, and I have numerous magazine subscriptions. So my first step will be to recycle my paper.
Now this won’t be my only step, but I am the type of person who needs to let a habit set in before I add too many more things to it.
So what first step can you take? Feel free to add a comment and put it in writing too.
Recycle your batteries and cell phones and ink cartridges. You can take them to Best Buy.
And no more plastic bottles! (for water)
I started recycling and carrying reuseable shopping bags when I go grocery shopping. They hold so much more than plastic and it makes me feel like I am doing my part.
Okay, so you want to start out small. How about changing the light bulbs in your house to cfl bulbs. That is something so simple to do. But, watch out because they contain mercury (not a well known fact)so you need to be aware when handling them and discarding them.
