20 Ways to help the environment

  1. Purchase environment-friendly shopping bags from your local grocery store, and use them
  2. Plant tree seeds in a place that doesn't have too many trees
  3. Pick up trash and litter from where ever
  4. Don't buy plastic water bottles, and just fill up a reusable water bottle
  5. Turn off any lights that aren't being used
  6. Take shorter showers, 5 minutes is plenty of time
  7. Ditch electronics and go outside to play!
  8. Have you ever wanted a small notebook?  Well, I recommend Poo Poo Paper.  It's 100% made of elephant poop, and it's scentless(It's gross, I know)!
  9. Put in fuller loads of laundry so you know you're not wasting water
  10. With gloves, search through local trash cans to find any cans or plastic bottles, and put them in the cans and plastic bottles recycling bin
  11. Do you have unwanted papers that you CERTAINLY don't need?  Well, just recycle them
  12. If you're the artsy type and you use color pencils, just buy Crayola colored pencils.  Look for the colored pencils that are made from reforested wood
  13. Reduce pollution by carpooling, taking the local bus, or riding a bike
  14. Instead of turning on the heat in the winter, wear a sweater
  15. If you have a lot of errands, then combine them so you don't waste gas
  16. Change your house's light bulbs with LED or CFL light bulbs
  17. Buy an electric car
  18. Rather than throwing your food in the trash can, compost instead
  19. Use solar cookers/food dehydrator
  20. Dry clothes on a hanging line instead of using a dryer
