There are hundreds and hundreds of things
we can do to help protect our Mother Earth and bring her back into balance. Here are a few of the things you can do.
Plant a tree with a child.
Teaching our children to love and care for our planet is one of the most important
things we can do to ensure the future of mankind.
Buy local and organic foods
to help reduce the energy costs of transportation and the excessive use of pesticides.
Use alternative transportation whenever
possible,
especially for your daily communte!
Bicycles, public transportation, and carpooling are great ways to commute, to
protect the environment, and to save money.
Reuse newspaper.
Use newspaper and glass cleaner to clean windows. Crumpled newspaper
can make windows and mirrors shine.
Re-use and reduce packing material
to save more energy than recycling. By avoiding the use of extra packaging,
you save both energy and landfill space.
To reduce use of both paper and plastic,
bring a reusable canvas bag with you when you shop.
Reduce junk mail.
Remove your name from mailing lists and opt out of direct mail catalogs by calling
the Customer Service given on the catalogs. Contact your credit card companies, banks, and charities to which you regularly
donate to ensure that they don't sell your name and address. When ordering online, uncheck the box on the Shopping Cart
page that allows the online business to provide your contact information to related businesses.
Compost.
Fertilize your plants by sprinkling used coffee grounds around the base of each
plant before watering.
