Earth day is every day. Millions are participating on yearly's earth day; why not make it every day? Here are some acts that can be done in uniting with the Earth day everyday campaign of SBSC (Spectrum Blue Steel Corporation).
1. Switch to renewable and green energy
2. Recycling paper, plastic and aluminum.
3. Conserve water and electricity.
4. Never throw used up batteries in the trash. They contain mercury, a hazardous substance that will leak into groundwater or be burned and released into the air.
5. Refrigerator temperatures should be set at about 40 degrees, give or take a degree or two. Freezer temps between 0 and 5 degrees are just right. Colder settings waste energy and won't help food.
6. Buy green household products as constant as possible.
7. Start gardening to lessen the pollution, plant vegetables using organic fertilizers.
8. Minimize the use of your air-condition.
9. Shut off all power in your home for at least an hour each day.
10. Teach your children to respect the earth, reduce, reuse, recycle and live gently.
11. Use organic cotton crochet facial scrubs instead of buying the cotton ones you throw away after each use.
12. Avoid using disposable materials on birthday parties or any other occasions.
13. Ever wonder if you should leave the car running while you wait for the kids to be dismissed from school? Leave it on if you'll be there less than a minute, otherwise it is more efficient to turn it off and restart it when you're ready to go.
14. Avoid using dryers and hang your clothes instead.
15. When building or remodeling our homes, for example, we can use earth friendly products including flooring made of cork or bamboo -- both renewable resources.
16. Our product choices, packaging, reusing, and recycling are all areas that affect our homes. Some of the things we can do will take very little time. Other choices will require research, persistence, and conscious effort.
17. Switch to rechargeable batteries or collect used batteries in a shoebox out in the garage, clearly marked. Then take them to a recycling facility once or twice a year.
18. Quite smoking.
How about you? What can you contribute? Earth day is not only during 22nd of April, let us all go green!
