Earth Day Tips and Facts

Earth Day is coming up on April 22nd, and we would like to share some tips with you for helping conserve our environment:

-Take shorter showers and skip baths. A 5 minute shower takes 15-25 gallons of water, rather than 40 gallons used to take a bath.

-Grass and leaves can be turned into compost instead of trash.

-Laptops can save almost 50% more energy than their desktop counterparts.

-Recycling an aluminum can uses 95% less energy than making a can from new materials.

-Prevent 300 pounds of CO2 every year by buying fluorescent light bulbs.

-Wear organic fabrics like cotton and linen that are less harmful to the environment and are better for your skin.

-Capture all the acid waste water from your water ionizer and use for house plants or cleaning etc.
