Happy Earth Day!

Going Green 101

1. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. It never gets old.

2. On holiday trips, never forget to unplug all your electronic devices at home.

3. Plant a tree. 

4. Grow your own herb garden, so you won't have to take a trip to the supermarket when all you need is basil or rosemary.

5. Rescue a pet! If you don't want to purchase a pet from a shop or breeder, adopt one from a shelter.

6. Place a brick or two inside the toilet tank. It saves water used for flushing.

7. Buy organic food.  

8. Take a reusable bottle of water with you wherever you go - less waste, less cost.

9. Buy eco-friendly clothing made from 100% cotton.

10. Bring your own shopping bag when you have to do your shopping runs.

11. Collect rain water in a container for later use - it's great for watering plants.

12. Maximize the use of baking soda! It's also a smart substitute for fancy cleaning products.

Going green is not simple. It requires a bit of sacrifice and a bit of work too - changing your environmentally-unconscious habits and all that. But when you start taking these tiny steps towards a greener future, your efforts of saving Mother Earth will pay off.
