Earth Day!

It's official spring has sprung! For many of us that means changing over our wardrobes from sweaters to tank tops, a good spring cleaning of our home and most importantly ... more time outside! As we all love nature's beauty and everything it has to offer, we need to ensure we are keeping it in pristine condition for generations to come. In honor of Earth Day (April 22nd), we have found 20 fun and easy ways to keep

Mother Earth looking her best!

1. Plant an herb garden

2. Switch all your light bulbs to CFLs

3. Create a homemade compost bin

4. Switch one appliance to an energy efficient model (look for the “energy star” label)

5. Stop using disposable bags, use reusable bags

6. Buy an inexpensive reusable water bottle, and eliminate plastic disposable bottles

7. Wash laundry in cold water instead of hot

8. Turn off lights when you leave the room
