Happy Earth Day
It's Earth Day. I've been reflecting on what we've done here at home to be more earth friendly. Here are a few of the things we do:
- Recycle all that we can
- Turn lights off when we leave a room
- Use florescent bulbs
- Pay bills online
- Wash in cold water instead of hot or warm
- Turn of water when brushing our teeth
- Load the dishwasher fully before running it
- Switched to propane from oil heat
- Installed all energy efficient appliances
- Use on demand hot water tank instead of traditional
- Installed new triple pane windows
- Take reusable bags when grocery shopping
- Keep heat at no higher than 65 degrees
- Purchase as few single serve items as possible (ex yogurt in large containers instead of many small)
We have a couple more things to work on this year:
- Start a compost pile - really why haven't we done this yet?
- Switch to all natural cleaning products
- Get the pool on a dependable timer
What things are you doing to be more earth friendly?

WASH IN COLD WATER INSTEAD OF HOT OR WARM WATER? WHAT?

That would be cold water washes for clothes, not people!
