Happy Earth Day!

Today is Earth Day! My friend Heather posted some great tips for living a little greener lifestyle so I thought I would steal them from her and post them here. Thanks Heather! The biggest change we've just made is that Propel has made on-the-go pouches for mixing with regular water. So now we don't have a whole case of Propel bottles in our recycling bin every week. And not sure that this would ever happen, but I would love to get solar panels on the back side of our roof. The back of our house is south facing and the sun just beats down. Man, the energy we could save--or at least put back into the house!

Tomorrow is Earth Day and time to rethink how you live. Here's a few easy changes we've made around our home that you can do too.

• Open a window and turn off your A/C. Close the shades during the day when you leave.
  
• Turn off the water when you brush your teeth. (A HUGE pet peeve of mine!!)
• Switch to reuseable water bottles like these bottles.
• Turn off the lights when not in use.
  
• Change to compact fluorescent lightbulbs.
• Shut off your computer. Putting it to sleep isn't better for it.
• No more plastic bags. No more zip lock bags. Try this lunchbox.
• Recycle!
• Buy Energy Star products. (The city will even give you cash back for it!)
  

Of course, there's a lot more we can do and we're trying.
But even small steps can make a big impact.

Ok, now everyone hold hands and sing Kumbaya.
