I&#8217;ve decided to list out what I try to do in my daily life in order to stop wasting the Earth and stop Global Warming. Some of them are really small but I do what I can.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I drive a Hybrid, my Toyota Prius. Yes, it still pollutes but it&#8217;s the most fuel efficient thing out there.<\/li>\n<li>I car pool with Brian everyday to and from work.<\/li>\n<li>I reuse my old water bottles and refill them.<\/li>\n<li>I use hand towels instead of paper towels to clean spills and things. It&#8217;s easier to throw them in the wash.<\/li>\n<li>I always try to use energy saver everything like light bulbs.<\/li>\n<li>I turn my room temperature to 68 in the winter and 75 in the summer. I open the windows as much as possible on nice cool days.<\/li>\n<li>I recycle everything I humanly can; beer bottles, cans, junk mail. In MoCo, it&#8217;s hard to recycle but I put aside cans and jars and paper to recycle over Brian&#8217;s parents house. I also have a special recycling drawer that I put useless non-identifiable paper and things in to recycle later.<\/li>\n<li>I reuse paper if there&#8217;s not much written on it, I just scratch it out.<\/li>\n<li>I reuse my lunch bags and other bags. When I go to the mall, I take a plastic bag with me, that way I&#8217;m not using one of theirs. I also reuse my sandwich bags by wrapping my sandwich up with a napkin. I need a napkin anyway.<\/li>\n<li>I turn my computer and speakers off whenever I&#8217;m not using them. Except for my work computer which needs to update itself. I turn that off for the weekend.<\/li>\n<li>I turn off lights whenever I exit a room. Except at work. I was instructed to leave my light on forever since I have the front office and the bosses want it to look like our office is busy even though no one is in the office.<\/li>\n<li>I use rechargeable batteries for remotes, cameras, controllers, etc.<\/li>\n<li>I buy Green things. Like our shake flashlight.<\/li>\n<li>I manually open doors instead of going through automatic doors whenever possible. I also use the stairs instead of elevators (unless it&#8217;s really high like 4+ stories).<\/li>\n<li>I reuse tinfoil and plastic wrap as much as possible, if I can.<\/li>\n<li>I roll down my windows like all the time in the car instead of air conditioning. This sometimes helps fuel efficiency.<\/li>\n<li>Over Dad&#8217;s, I do the same sorts of things. I recycle whatever I can. When I find metal I put it in one of the junk cars that goes to the scrap yard to get recycled. I&#8217;ll pick aluminum cans out of the trash to put them into the recycling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you know, I am very Earth concious and I try to be as &#8220;Green&#8221; as possible.
