Ways to help protect the earth

  • Conserve water when a drought is possible You can do this by by turning the sink off when brushing your teeth, shorten showers, and let the car go dirty on the outside avoiding car washes
  • Avoid build up of greenhouse gas emissions by walking or biking. Not only will you be exercising but helping the planet as well. 
  • Recycle glass, plastic, paper and tinfoil there are many ways to do this and you may make a bit of money by recycling as well. Take that extra step and recycle batteries and electronics as well by taking them to recycling center near you.
  • Planning a garden?? Perhaps it is a a great time to start composting as well. Composting offers your garden great nutrients and also lessens space taken up by landfills.
  • Use recyclable bags and go without paper or plastic bags. 
  • Donate unused but good clothing and shoes to charitable organizations. 
  • When cleaning choose "green" cleaning products rather than toxic products. Vinegar, lemon and baking soda are common ingredients that can help you make your own cleaners. 
  • Plant flowers and trees to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, clean pollution and provide shade for your self as well as animals. 
  • Find other ways to help you curbside waste
