8 Way to Go Green

Were you able to get to the Live Green Expo at the Plano Centre recently? This is their 5th year for Plano to bring this Expo with speakers and exhibits in order to learn how to make informed decisions and take action to lead more healthy lives with less impact on the environment.

The Plano Studio Movie Grill was showing “Bag It” as a documentary. Did you see it?

We have 8 suggestions to go green at your house right now that you can do:
1. Get a reusable water bottle and coffee cup; say no to disposables. (We do this, how about you?)
2. Use only energy-saving bulbs. (Use some....need to do better.)
3. Recycle all paper products. (We are good at this.)
4. Redecorating? Look at furniture and accessories you already have and change them from room to room for a new look, instead of tossing and buying new things.
5. Use the phone or video chat with Skype for meetings instead of driving your car. (We are trying this with our office meetings!)
6. Buy earth-friendly cleaning products when possible. (Some)
7. Try to buy local produce and food. (Sometimes)
8. Turn your car off while waiting in car-pool pickups to avoid idling. (Don't have kids but do it while I sit in the car on the phone, I need to turn it off....but it is hot!)

What else are you doing to be green?
