Did you know that 40 years ago today was the first Earth Day ever!
A lot has changed with our Earth but there's some things we can do to help. Here's a few things I do to help curb my carbon footprint and help this planet we call home. (Find out your carbon footprint here)
Recycle!
I know you've been told this since grade school (remember the song?) It's a lot easier then you think and most cities have recycle cans just like trash cans so it's even easier for you. I have two trash cans in my kitchen one for cans & plastic (ours go together) and one for regular trash. It makes it easier for everyone to remember to recycle.
Buy Local
That can be either produce and products, in Tallahassee we have a group of locally businesses and services that encourage residents to shop local. You can visit them here, they have a cute slogan that is "Keep it sassy Tallahassee"
Bring Your Own Bags
They don't have to be special to that store either. Plus most reusable bags hold way more than most plastic bags so that means less trips from the car when you bring things in.
Do you have any Earth Day tips? Feel free to share them!
