Eco Tips

I'm going to be rolling out environmentally friendly living tips once a week. 

 

Some will be really simple small changes that you may read and say, “Duh!”.

And some will be larger lifestyle changes that you may read and say, “Whoa!”.

 

But I will try to mix it up because we all have different challenges, different abilities, different resources and different opportunities. So, don't compare yourselves to others. Just do what you can, when you can and feel good that you've tried your best.  (Let me tell you a secret- I don't do all of the things I suggest in this section.  Like everyone else, I get tired, I run out of time and, quite frankly, I don't have enough money.  But I still try...)

If we each make small changes, together we can make a big difference.
