Here
are some of the ways I always try to make a positive impact on
global warming. While this may seem like a lot, it's
actually very simple and easy. Doing any one, or a
combination of these things can effect great change on our
world.
Recycling, reusing or donating everything possible
Buying locally grown produce
Consuming only fresh, unprocessed foods
Living simply - I don't buy what I don't need
Organic gardening
Using only natural, environmentally friendly, cruelty free
household, bath & body products
Water conservation
Managing daily car routes to use less gas and energy and having
only one car
Buying in bulk when possible
Turning off lights when not in use
Unplugging certain electronics when not in use
Not using major appliances in the middle of the day
Using a high quality water filter to refill my water bottles
No longer receive mail at home, to avoid junk mail
Cancelled all magazine subscriptions
Bring my own bags when shopping
(Remember,
all plastic bags with a recycle symbol, whether from the
grocery store, produce bags, pre-packaged lettuce or vegetables,
or new electronics etc . . . are usually only recycled when they
are specifically taken to your local grocery store and placed in
the specially provided plastic bag recycling bin. The recycling
company that picks up the recyclables in my neighborhood does
not recycle plastic bags and they just end up throwing them
away. So be sure to check with your local recycling company to
find out how to dispose of your plastic bags. The schools of
fish in the sea Thank You)!!
And
putting good energy out into the world and focusing on seeing change
take place rather than on the negative. If thoughts become things,
then we need to visualize harmonious balance in all things.
Like Mahatma Gandhi said "Be the change you want to see
in the world." Every little bit makes a
difference.
How
do you make a difference?
