10 simple things that help

Below are ten simple things you can do to help protect God's earth (adapted from a World Wildlife Federation flyer).

Do anytime...

• Drive less; walk more.
• Go for second.
• Watch your waste.
• Plan meals better so you don't have to throw away some food.
• Don't overeat. When you do it's garbage in - garbage out (as waste).
• Recycle paper in its many forms -- cereal boxes, "junk mail", bill envelopes, ...
• Bag it
• Use your own canvas or similar reusable bag.
• Buy bags that do not have lead-based paint (some made in China allegedly do).
• BYOB (Bring your own bottle) of water. Don't keep buying plastic bottles that only create problems at landfills.
• Get in touch with your roots. Tree roots that is. Plant a tree.
• Support the good guys. That is, support non-profit organizations that actually help the environment.

Winter

• Put on a sweater.  Use a sweater to keep you warmer, then turn down the heat a few degrees.
