How Can I Make A Positive Difference? |

 Reduce "Our demand for water has grown to the point that the natural water cycle can no longer keep up" (Source: Wastebusting Schools Pack KCC 2001). How can you reduce the amount of water that you use? * Brush your teeth with the water turned off. * Do laundry when you have a full load. * Collect rain water to use for watering your garden. * Take shorter showers. * For additional ideas visit: http://eartheasy.com/live_water_saving.htm Reuse Unlike our desires the Earth has a limited supply of natural resources. Plastic bags and bottles are made from oil, paper is made from trees. If we continue consuming new products we will eventually run out of natural resources. What can you do to make a difference? * Reuse plastic bags when you go shopping, use them to pack a lunch in, or even use them to pickup dog waste (it's better than using your bare hands). * Buy used goods. * Buy goods made from recycled products. * Donate clothing, furniture, toys, and other goods that you would typically throw away. * To see more ideas visit: http://www.squidoo.com/reuse-everything Recycle You say that you have reduced and reused everything that you can. Great Job! Did you know that if we recycled every newspaper over the course of one year we could save about 250 million trees (Source: http://www.recycling-revolution.com/recycling-facts.html)? Just imagine how much cleaner the air would smell with all of those trees.
