today is earth day!
Let's all do something to help the environment & make the planet a cleaner, better place.*If you don't already, start to recycle. Recycle everything--plastic, metal, paper, cardboard, glass, tires, appliances, used motor oil...everything, everything, everything.
*Stop using Styrofoam. Styrofoam is evil; it is positively ruining our environment. So for Earth Day, why not make the decision never to use the vile stuff again?
*Take your own containers to restaurants. You can not only cut down on waste by not asking the restaurant to supply containers for your leftovers, but you can avoid Styrofoam, too, since that's what most restaurants provide. (I recommend Glad brand resealable containers...they're easy to carry, easy to see through, & can be refrigerated, microwaved, washed, & reused. They can also be recycled down the road & come in a dozen very convenient sizes.)
*Gas prices are already high enough, & those exhaust fumes aren't helping anybody. Why not walk as much as you can--to the corner store, the post office, or even all along the strip mall instead of moving your car closer to the stores you want to hit?
Can you think of any other ways we can help to save the environment for both ourselves & future generations?
