Being green is my advocacy. It started when the flood hit us. It was shocking but I know it was also our fault. From then on, I stopped using plastic and encourage everyone to do so by giving away reusable bags. Now I want to reach to more people and help in making our planet a better place to live.
Here are 10 Practical Ways To Be Green
- Old clothes can be turned into rugs. You don’t have to buy rugs, just use scissors and tear your old clothes to the size of the rug that you need.
- Do not throw plastic bottles, you can sell it on junkyards or make use of it. Here, I use old plastic bottles as my seedlings pot.
- For your house cleaning needs, such as carpet cleaning, hire organic cleaners such nj carpet cleaner.
- Reuse old papers. Like what I did, some press release I have here were turned into loot bags, perfect for birthdays!
- Use ecobag/ reusable bags instead of using plastic bags.
- Buy eco-friendly and green products.
- On summer days, instead of using the dryer in full, use it only half or not use it all, let the natural heat from the sun dry your clothes.
- Shop online. Yes! it’s another way to be green. Shopping online means you don’t have to leave the house, no need to take the car and no need to use plastic.
- Make use of appliances wisely, specially air condition, fan and lights.
- Keep and collect (do not throw) old newspaper as this can be sold on junkyards.
