Earth Day Tips
Earth Day is Friday, April 22nd this year. Listed below are some small ways to go green that have a big impact:
- Switch all your lightbulbs to CFLs.
- Stop using disposable bags. Use reusable bags!
- Stop buying disposable plastic bottles and buy an inexpensive reusable water bottle instead.
- Wash laundry in cold water instead of hot.
- Line dry your laundry.
- Be mindful of the light switch - turn off lights when you're not in that room or make use of natural light for as long as possible.
- Use cloth napkins instead of paper.
- Re purpose glass jars as leftover containers and bulk storage.
- Lower the temperature on your hot water heater.
- Unplug unused chargers and appliances.
These are just a few ways you can go green at home. Be sure to stop by the Earth Day Parade and Fare in Bend on Saturday, April 23 and visit the Deschutes Recycling booth! Visit The Environmental Center's website for more information.
