Top 10 Ways to Celebrate Earth Day

My Yoga Online - Earth Day is around the corner and we would like to honor this important day with our favorite ways to celebrate this day of awareness.

1) Eat vegetarian - producing meat generates huge amounts of green house gases and ground pollution.

2) Turn down brightness level on display by at least 20% and preset energy saving settings on computer to cut down power usage more.

3) Throw on a sweater and turn the thermostat down a couple degrees.

Green Living Earth Day 4) Dry some or all of your laundry on a line/hanger.

5) Wash you clothes with cold water-the majority of energy in washing clothes is related to heating the water.

6) Take a recyclable shopping bag with you-kill the plastic bag addiction!

7) Turn off the TV and go for a walk!

8.) Switch one or all of your bill statements to online billing notifications-cut out the unnecessary envelopes and paper waste.

9) Put an end to disposable coffee/tea cups and water bottles-take a stainless steel beverage container to your favorite java huts and make your own filtered water at home.

10) Do you really need all those lights on? New habit: leave a room, turn off the light!

Green thinking, saving large, living better.
