Posted by the Mobleys.
These are some things the Mobleys have done to make their environment a greener place.
1. Turn off lights when we leave a room.
2. Make our own household cleaner from non-toxic substances (vinegar, baking soda, etc.)
3. Draw on the back side of paper that mom brings home from work rather than a new sheet of paper.
4. Drink out of our reusable nalgene and stainless steel water bottles.
5. Recycle everything that can be recycled instead of thrown away (bottles, cans, newspaper, etc.)
6. Take reusable canvas bags to the grocery store.
7. Use old socks, towels and washcloths as rags.
8. We donate old clothes, toys, etc. to Goodwill so they can be reused.
9. We make compost from our discarded veggies and fruits for our garden.
10. We all bring our lunch to school/work in reusable bags.
11. Unplug appliances that are not being used.
12. Use a battery-powered lawn mower instead of gas powered.
