I’m making ecologically-friendly changes in my life. Here is what I have done concluded or done thus far:
1. Only ride in a vehicle if there is at least 2 people in the vehicle.
2. If I need to get somewhere, only ride my bike or walk
3. never take plastic bags from the grocery store (including produce tear-away bags)
4. do not turn on lights in my house during daylight hours
5. Compact Fluorescent bulbs in all light fixtures
6. do not eat any meals from restaurants that require disposable packaging (Burger King, Taco Bell, etc……sniff…taco bell.) and don’t buy any beverages in plastic bottles or paper cups. Bring re-usable cup for coffee!
7. recycle EVERYTHING that can be recycled. No more throwing out that small cardboard packaging that contained my kraft macaroni and cheese snack
8. encourage the household to try and lower the heat a few degrees :)
9. purchase little to no new consumer goods. I’m currently on the look out for used stereo speakers
10. any new items that need to be purchased (shoes are coming up) need to be made by ethical treatment of human labor. Simple shoes and American Apparel T-shirts are pretty solid companies.
I’m making small progress.
