Rak day 4

Random acts of kindness day 4.

Be kind to the earth.

This would be the same as earth day! something I am HORRIBLE at. At least i can really see where I need some improvement in this area.

what have I already done?

Buy a Nalgene (water bottle) and a filter, instead of bottled water.

I actually have like 4 of these, and they are virtually indistructable, I did however break one and Nalgene replaced it for me! {that's the bottle in the pic, I dropped it while it was frozen}

Switch your lights from incandesent, to floresent.

The nicest about this one was they last so much longer than regular bulbs, and they cut down on the cost of your electric.

Switch from plastic lunch baggies to storage boxes.

yea you have to wash them, but you dont have the "apple on your PB&J" sandwich! also! the 4 oz gladware cups you can fill with Jello, and make your own snack packs.

what else can I do?

Economize on car use. Do as many things as possible on one trip.
Keep your car tuned up.

Pick up trash along the road.

do more recycling

make a compost box

Turn off lights, heaters and fans when not in use.

Take in your plastic grocery bags to be recycled or better yet use fabric!

What am I doing today?

my car's in the shop and I'm going to stay put for a few days. maybe I'll even sew a few grocery bags.... I wonder if I can find someone's pattern!
