How can I be more eco-friendly?
As I become more aware of our need for more green living, I am becoming more aware of the negative impact that my lifestyle is having on the economy. From the large amount of plastics, paper and metal that I am carelessly throwing away each day to the fuel I burn driving throughout my city, I am guilty of being a part of the problem.
I would like to begin making small changes in my everyday lifestyle to begin recycling, but have no idea of what to do! I can start sorting my trash, but where to do I take it? What other small, eco-friendly changes can I make to contribute to a better environment?
To find where to recycle go to the earth 911 site below and enter your zip. Some easy, low cost things that you can do are eliminate phantom loads by using power strips. (2nd link has a video to explain)
Use cfl's and insulate your house well, when shopping use cloth bags and look for items that use the least amount of prepackaging.
In the kitchen/bathroom use aerators on your sinks and low flo shower heads on your showers.
Clean your refrigerator coils and of course turn off items your not using
