Are you doing your part? (Part 1)

We are continually hearing more
and more about the failing health of
our earth. When it comes to helping
out and doing our part for this planet,
most of us fall into one of three categories:
Category one - We are too used to living life a certain
way and refuse to change anything to help.
Category two - We have completely dedicated our
lives to “going green” and will do whatever it takes to
save the earth.
Category three - (the majority of us fall here)…concerned
and wanting to help, but unsure of how and or
where to start.
Recently I decided that it was time for my family to
dedicate a little more time and effort into doing our part
for this earth. I personally wanted to fi nd practical ways
to help that were easy and quick to implement. Throughout
my research I discovered what I think are wonderful
ways for the average family to help out without completely
re-organizing their lifestyle.
1. Shave one minute off your hot shower. By doing
this, you can actually keep 170 pounds of carbon dioxide
from entering the atmosphere. Not to mention the water
it saves.
2. Match up your pan size to your burner size. According
to the U.S. Department of Energy, cooking with a
6-inch pan on an 8-inch burner wastes 40 percent of the
heat. (Also, make sure you are using stainless steel or
glass to minimize toxins in your food).
3. Dry your razor after shaving. Just a quick pat dry
after each use will double the lifespan of your blade and
save space at the landfi ll. Did you know Americans throw
away 2 billion disposable razors each year?
4. Switch to voice mail. Answering machines use up
tons of stand-by energy (electricity consumed by an appliance
even when it is not in use). If you can’t switch
over yet, unplug it when you’re home. If all Americans
converted, we would save more than 2 billion kilowatt
hours of energy. About the same as taking 250,000 cars
off the road for an entire year!
