Discussions on how we can live responsibly and save the environmentArchive for Events
Lights off today, March 29th from 8PM to 9PM
Let’s all join in this effort to save energy, even for just an hour. More information can be found at Earth Hour site.
Earth Day is April 22
If we can make New Year’s resolutions, maybe we should start making Save the Earth resolutions as well. Since this coming Sunday is Earth Day, I came up with a couple of things we can do in our daily lives to help our environment.
Some easy ones to get started with:
- Turn off the faucet when brushing your teeth.
- Use ceiling fans instead of the a/c if possible. You can open some windows to cool rooms at night.
- Place curtains on windows that receive a lot of heat during the day.
- Use cold water instead of hot water when washing clothes if possible.
- Bring your own coffee mug to fill up with water or coffee in your office instead of using foam or paper cups
I think these resolutions are easier to keep than say, reducing your carb intake 
What other planet saving tips can you suggest?
By the way, here’s a list of Earth Day events happening around the Orlando area this weekend. Check out the 10th Annual Earth Day Expo at the Winnie Palmer Auditorium this Saturday.
