http://www.seql.org/100ways.cfm

Hey guys.  Since I am trying to live a more "greener" lifestyle, I found this sweet website that gives 100 ways how to save the environment.  The website (provided by SEQL) gave a few categories pertaining to where and how you can make the changes, which were listed as:

-in your home-conserve energy
-in your home-reduce toxicity
-in your yard
-in your office
-ways to protect our air
-ways to use less water
-how to create less trash.

One thing my household should work on is trying to remember to shut off the lights when we are not in the room.  I have mentioned this to my roomies before, but they always seem to forget!!  Also, it is important to really think if you need a light on or not, sometimes we turn on lights subconciously when we aren't even in need for extra light.  One way to avoid this is to put duck tape over your light switch so you can actually process the thought if you actually need it, and in most cases you don't even need to flip the switch.

A second change I should make is to start printing off class assigned readings on both front and back of the paper.  This will cut my expenses in half and the amount of trees that are being cut down to make this paper.  I just always seem to forget to change the printing settings, but I should really  make this a priority.

One last change my roomies and I should make is to stop running the dishwasher when it is only half way full.  Sure we may not like messy kitchens, but it is much better for our environment to reduce the amount of times we run a machine that uses great amounts of water.  On the website there are 97 other ways to better our environment and I highly suggest you take a look!  Have a great weekend everyone!!
