What are you doing to sustain your personal space and surroundings?
Here are some suggesttions: 1) Conserve Water:
- Do not leave the water running while you are brushing your teeth or shaving.
- Don't wash your car at home. Take it to a car wash, they are equipped to handle
the run-off. BETTER YET LET THE RAIN WASH IT NATURALLY. - Landscape your yard so it doesn't require frequent watering.
- Use rainwater to water the garden.
- Virgina Tech - Sustainability
- Fill up those blue bins. I REDUCED MY TRASH BY 50%! YOU CAN TOO.
- Take those plastic grocery bags back to the grocery store for recycling
(Take a cloth bag with you next time). - Repurpose old furniture and other household items.
- Make sure batteries are disposed of properly.
- Turn off lights and ceiling fans when you leave the room.
- Buy a broom, and a rake, and STOP using a leaf blower to remove the leaves from your driveway or lawn. You will sustain yor body with the added exercise.
- Buy energy-efficient products. (Look for the Energy Star rating.)
- Replace your incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents.
- Not everyone can go out and buy a new car that gets 40 mpg, but everyone can
drive less. - Consolidate trips. Get out of the habit of jumping into the car every time you get the urge.
- Carpool its easy and saves money.
- If your destination is within walking distance, then walk as often as you can.
- Ride a bike when possible.
