Happy Earth Day!! What? You don't celebrate it? You think it's dumb, too difficult, useless? Come on, don't you want this lovely sphere we call home to be as beautiful if not more for your kids and grandkids? I know I do. I know I can make a difference... and so can you. It's easy:

Use less water:
~Don't let the water run while shaving or brushing teeth.
~Take short showers instead of tub baths.
~Keep drinking water in the refrigerator instead of letting the faucet run until the water is cool.
~Scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher; wash only full loads.
~Repair all leaks (a leaky toilet can waste 200 gallons a day).
~Water the lawn or garden during the coolest part of the day (early morning is best).
~Keep your yard healthy - dethatch, use mulch, etc.
~Sweep outside instead of using a hose.

It's that easy. And once you get used to the little things like not running the water while brushing your teeth, you'll want to do more.
