Happy Earth Day!

This coming Saturday is a Festival in downtown Indianapolis called Earth Day Indiana. I went last year and had a blast. I'm really looking forward to it.

Here are five things I do... to help save the planet.

1. I use canvas bags for grocery-shopping to cut down on plastic bags.
2. I compost coffee grounds and other things in the back yard.
3. I bring things to local recycling dumpsters on a regular basis. Plastic, glass, newspaper, cardboard, paper, magazines, even clothes.
4. I try to combine errands so I use the truck less.
5. I re-use plastic peanut butter containers for storage. They are much safer in the garage for nails than the break-able glass ones. I re-use other containers, but that one is easy to explain.

No comments:





Go you must
No guest
Shall stay long
In one place forever
Love will be lost
If you sit too long
At a friend’s fire.
