Easy Ways to Go Green


Awhile back the Oakland Zoo (located in Oakland, CA) printed some simple conservation ideas in their newsletter, here are a few I thought were easy ways to "go green" for kids and adults:
  • reuse items for art
  • create a family recycling center
  • turn off the water when brushing your teeth
  • collect rain water for watering plants
  • take the bus or other public transportation
  • recycle cell phones, laptops and ipods
  • mow the lawn with a manual mower
  • invest in sustainable organizations and projects
  • dry clothing on a clothes line
  • grow a garden for butterflies and/or veggies
Just a few ideas to help you continue in your "Go Green" journey! Happy Summer!
