Well, Happy Earth Day!
I couldn't let this day go by without posting a very short blog!
In the spirit of keeping energy usage to a minimum, I will keep this short (so I don't waste energy on my end, and so you don't waste energy reading/using the computer on your end).
Here are some green tips to keep top of mind today, and hopefully everyday!
1. Buy organic.
2. Look for concentrated products.
3. Install compact flourescent light bulbs.
4. Use resusable shopping bags.
5. turn off the faucet while you brush your teeth (and if you do dishes by hand too!)
6. Use eco-friendly cleaning supplies.
7. Reduce water in your toilet tank.
8. Turn down the heat during the Winter.
9. Calculate your carbon footprint and learn how to reduce it. www.nature.org/initiatives/cliematechange/calculator.
10. Attend an Earth Day Event. www.EarthDay.net.

Okay people. So part of green living is of course prevention, and another huge part is recycling and reuse, which of course helps lead to reduction of waste.
There is an awesome magazine that shows you what you can do with all that crap you either can't recycle (like styrafoam cups) or stuff you have left over (like extra cardboard boxes, or shirts, or tires, etc.)
What is this magazine called? ReadyMade. Now, yes there is something to be said for a company that focuses on recycling actually printing their mag, but they have an awesome website, and they only print bi-monthly so it's 6 issues instead of 12 issues a year!
I will be asking them if they print on recycled paper, so stay tuned for their reply (here's hoping I get one!)
Check them out! READY MADE MAG: http://readymademag.com
