Happy Earth day!

Hi everyone. I just wanted to say Happy Earth Day and give you some tips to go green! These tips are easy to follow and make a big difference!

  • Turn off your water while brushing your teeth! This saves gallons of fresh water!
  • Try to take showers that are 5-10 minutes long, or you can just turn off the water while shampooing and conditioning your hair.
  • When using paper use the front and back side!
  • Choose to buy recycled toilet paper.
  • When choosing house cleaners look to see if its Eco-friendly.
  • Recycle, Recycle, Recycle!!!
  • Choose natural deodorant
  • Eco-friendly packaging does wonders for the environment.
  • Try biodegradable soap!'
  • If you love a certain face wash buy it in the biggest size if you know you'll use it. This way the bottle will be made of less plastic.
  • Check to see if your products are cruelty-free (not being tested on animals.)
  • Choose organic tampons, or make sure you recycle your tampon box.
  • Look for organic make-up such as Physicians Formula.
  • Use a towel more than once.
  • Wash clothes in cold water. Ninety percent of energy from the washer goes in to heating the water.
Hope everyone contributes to helping the environment. If you would like to see how big you Carbon footprint is then go here! Some of these tips are my own tips I follow. All the other tips I got either from greenyour.com or nature.org.
