Earth Day

Earth Day is today and I've been reading a lot about the simple changes we can make in our lives that will help the environment. Here are the changes I've made in my own life in order to be more environmentally friendly.

Bring your own canvas re-usable bags to the grocery store.
Use energy saving light bulbs
Use cloth napkins instead of paper
Use non-toxic cleaning products
Wash your clothes in cold water
Bring your own mug to Starbucks
Unplug appliances or chargers when you aren't using them or when you go on vacation.

Anyone else made changes in your house? Leave your suggestions in the comments section!

We use all non-toxic cleaning stuff and all laundry is done in cold water. We also walk a lot of places if possible...not as much driving as we used to do. I could do better...but it's a start.
