These are some things Riley has done to make his environment a greener place.
1. Plant more trees/plants. Also, every time I break a wooden board I will plant a tree, so we don’t reduce
2. I try to use scrap paper to reduce paper waste.
3. I always turn the water off when I brush my teeth and never leave it running continuously.
4. I am trying not to use the heater so much.
5. I am recycling aluminum cans, plastic bottles, paper, etc.
6. I usually use a portable iPod player, one that’s doesn’t use batteries or doesn’t plug-in, except when I need a plug-in or battery one for tournaments.
7. I try to unplug any unnecessary electronics.
