Every little bit helps when it comes to saving the planet, and helping the environment. There are many simple changes we could make as individuals. Take some time during the day to do at least one of the following practical ways to help.
The garden or lawn is a good place to start, especially during the warmer months. For those who grow fruits and vegetables try and make the switch to organic products. They last longer, taste better, and benefit the environment.
Maintaining a good clean garden can be done manually, or better yet by using a electric lawn mower. Electric mowers create no exhaust emissions, and run a lot cleaner than other types. Be sure to choose the type that is battery powered to avoid long chords and draining of power.
During the summer its common practice to install an air conditioner. However, these can drain an excessive amount of energy. A ceiling fan can create a nice, relaxing, cooling atmosphere using a lot less energy. Place up to two around different areas of your house to really keep your home cool during a heat wave.
Water conservation is essential inside busy offices and homes. Do your part by installing a low-flow shower head. It reduces the amount of water you use while having your daily shower. To many people get in the bad habit of taking excessively long showers. With this you do not need to worry. They are also known for saving quite a bit of energy!
