April is Earth Month. Are you doing your part to make a difference? Small changes can make a big impact. You don’t have to turn your life upside down and change everything at once. Make little changes where you can! Here are a few ideas to get you started – * Use a reusable water bottle – Choose a stainless steel variety or one that is BPA free. BPA is a toxic substance used to make clear and shatterproof plastic. BPA has been linked to cancer, interferes with fertility, and could contribute to childhood behavioral problems like hyperactivity. * Use reusable shopping totes – Start by purchasing one or two to supplement your paper or plastic grocery bags, then build up your collection to eliminate them all together. * Switch to CFL light bulbs as your current ones burn out. CFL bulbs are more expensive but they last a lot longer. Switching out your old bulbs with new CFL bulbs will save on your energy bill in the long run. * Pack your lunch in a reusable lunch box or bag – There are so many styles to choose from these days, you won’t look like a nerd when bringing your lunch to work. Rather, you’ll look smart and savvy! Even the simplest things can go a long way towards making a big difference. Take small steps towards a better future by committing to be earth friendly whenever you are able. Brought to you by our friends from TheFind!
