Earth Day continues...


April 22nd has come and gone, but hopefully the concept behind Earth Day will remain. There are so many ways that being environmentally friendly saves money also. Maybe the economy will make converts of some who might still be reluctant to take the plunge!


For example, shopping at Farmers Markets helps the environment while at the same time, saves money....Turning off the water while brushing does the same...Buying in bulk...ditto...Carpooling also saves money while protecting the planet...Buying perforated paper towels, or none at all also saves tremendously...unplugging cell phone chargers from the wall as soon as the phone is charged does the same. The list is endless.

I still think knowledge is power, and more would do it if they only knew how very important it is. "Saving money" might just be the door to open the communication about reducing our carbon footprint.
