EASY TO BE GREEN
-ditch your junk-
Not only is junk mail annoying, it kills trees. Do yourself - and the
forests - a favor by getting off mailing lists of companies you don't support.
You can contact the firms yourself, or check out subscription services like
www.greendimes.com
www.41pounds.org
that promise to lighten your junk-mail load and plant trees in your
name
-recycle your gadgets-
Don't clog landfills with old electronics. If you are dumping a computer,
manufactures like Dell, HP and Apple offer recycling options. Or consider
donating. The
National Christina Foundation will
hook up your old PC or Mac with a nonprofit organization. Drop off your old cell phone at your local Staples store as part of a Sierra
Club recycling effort
To find a drop-off center for rechargeable
batteries and cell phones, check out the non-profit call2Recycle
program
-cut the lights-
Trade your old incandescent light bulbs for compact fluorescent ones. They
use about 70% less energy than regular bulbs and last 10 times longer. For help
in picking the best bulb for your needs, go to www.energystar.gov
-save a tree-
Paper industry is the third largest contributor to global warming. If every
U.S. household replaced one toilet paper roll with a roll made from recycled
paper, 424,000 trees would be saved. If every household in the United States
bought recycled napkins instead of virgin-fiber napkins, we could save a million
trees.
-plant a tree-
The net cooling effect of one healthy tree is equivalent to 10 room-size air
conditioners operating 20 hours a day. You can go to www.arborday.org
to find out which trees will do well in your zip
code
-clean up naturally-
Household chemicals contribute to both indoor and outdoor pollution. Use
more natural cleaners like the Greening the Cleaning line at www.imusranchfoods.com
Or make your own using vinegar, baking soda and
lemon juice.
For some great tips on green cleaning, go to www.eartheasy.com
-find an eco-date-
If one of your goals is to find that special, ecofriendly someone, check out
social-networking communities like Vegan
Passions, Earth
Wise Singles, Green
Singles or Green
Passions. Because
two recyclers are better than one!
