yay for our Earth!

Earth Day is this coming Sunday, so to get prepared, here are some great things you can do for our environment and the health of our Earth.  In addition to all the things that you should be doing already: recycling, using reusable shopping bags and water bottles, turning the water and lights off when you aren't using them, adjusting your termostat, all the things you already do right?

GIVE UP YOUR DISPOSAL

This is something I learned while putting together this post, "If you aren't composting food scraps, Kate Heyhoe, author of "Cooking Green," says it's better to throw them in the trash than to grind them in the disposal. Food sent down the drain often winds up in the landfill after the sewage treatment plant, so save the electricity -- and 2,000 gallons of water per year."  I think you should try composting.    

GO MEATLESS WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE.
