Great, Simple Tips to Live a Greener Lifestyle

• Reuse – water bottles, shopping bags, boxes, back of used paper, lunch bags, cloth napkins, non-usable clothing for cleaning rags, etc.
• Shop local farmers’ markets. Eating a diet based on fruit and vegetables with meat and fish an occasional addition is less environmentally impactful – just be sure to get enough protein through plant-based means.
• Use electronic paperless devices, use libraries.
• Walk, ride a bike, carpool, have your children ride the school bus.
• Turn off the faucet while washing or brushing, take short showers instead of baths, lower your thermostat in winter or raise it in summer, use compact fluorescent light bulbs or LEDs.
• Be creative. Come up with innovative ways to limit your environmental impact.
