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.

Posted by the Woodwards.
These are some things the Woodwards have done to make their environment a greener place.
We bought small towels to use when we eat instead of using paper towels or napkins.
We wash our ziplock bags and re-use them.
We no longer use the heat dry function on the dish washer.
We bought a "Go Green" lawn mower and cant wait to start using it.
We unplug everything when not in use.
We recycle what we can (soda cans , paper , plastic).
We bought canvas bags to use when we go shopping.
We do not liter and pick up liter when we see it.
Did You Know: If you park your car in the shade, it reduces the amount of gas evaporated into the atmosphere, so park in the shade when possible even if you have to walk farther by doing so.

Disney is running a cool promotion for their Earth documentary. If you buy a ticket for opening weekend (April 22), they'll plant a tree in your name. They're on sale now via Disney's official Earth Site.
Our ATA Green Team is planning on seeing this together on Saturday, April 25th. Make sure you are checking your emails for the time, theater and other useful information.

1. Hey, I just wanted to let you know that even though I don't like to wash dishes after lunch, I have stopped using paper plates! I even found some reusable plates at Cost Plus that I am going to get for our next Parent's Night Out so we don't have so much waste :-) Look for a dish washing station at the next PNO. Mr. R. Pederson, I think you would be a great person to be in charge of that! Also, when you are having your Birthday Party at Taekwondo or anywhere, please consider the environment before using paper plates.
