Happy Earth Day everyone! We are excited to announce our three Earth Day Resolution winners. Overall the posts were incredibly thoughtful and doable. It really shows how little changes in our daily lives can add up to make a big impact. To us, everyday is Earth Day. It's all about smart and easy low impact choices.
Congratulations to the winners! Here are their posts:
Winner #1
Already using reusable grocery bags, washing laundry with cold water, using less light and changed all our light bulbs, and some other things. I resolve to use less plastic (water bottles especially) and grow more of my own food.
I'm going to try to compost more of my household waste, and buy a clothesline for drying clothes, since there is no such thing as an Energy Star rated clothes dryer. I'm also going to make more beverages at home (iced tea, Crystal lite, etc) instead of buying pre-made drinks which use more plastic in order to reduce my waste.
Most clothes dryers use about the same amount of energy as each other, and they're one of the most energy consuming appliances in one's house, after the furnace and water heater.
I am going to get cloth napkins to reduce my paper towel usage, and actually remember to bring my reusable grocery bags to the store!
