I try to keep lights that we don't need off.

Not sure why, but she was told no. They talked about Earth Day a little, but that was it. My husband, however, said that they turned out all the lights at his school and the children helped pick up the garbage around the school.<br /><br />At home, we're trying to remember to shut off lights and shorten our shower time!<br /><br />SIS Barb aka Elle J RossiElle J Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242732693777191481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650695048667568375.post-80177097751340291642010-04-22T14:26:11.407-04:002010-04-22T14:26:11.407-04:00BJ,

Going green can be expensive, but there are always cheap and easy things that you can do.<br /><br />I love those reusable bags.

Kudos to you and the girls for taking an active part in Earth Day. You've inspired me to do the same. I visted the EPA site for more ideas and have committed to these for today (and hopefully in the future!)<br /><br />*Use only the water you need, and reuse when possible<br /> <br />* Learn about the native species and the negative effects of non native plants and animals in the environment.<br /><br />* Reduce. Cut back on the amount of 'stuff' that could later end up as waste.<br /><br />*When purchasing goods, opt for sustainable, recycled or reused resources. Choose items in less packaging.<br /><br />Oh! And I'm going to try to be better about usuing my recycled bags at the grocery rather than plastic!<br /><br />SIS BethSisters-in-Synchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604043398648797517noreply@blogger.com
