Going 'Green'


The eight easy steps to going green:



  1. Don't use diapers, that makes ladfields. Have you ever smelled a landfield? It is not pretty!

  2. Stop taking 15 minute showers and reform to the luxury of 3 minute cold showers. By using cold water you are saving the hot water for other people. Also you are using 5 times less of the amount of water you were using when you took 15 minute showers regularly. Sure you might not get all the conditioner washed out or have time to soap but who cares? We can all smell bad together while we save the environment!

  3. PLEASE do not chuck diapers, ciggies, empty or full beer bottles, used women's personal hygiene, etc. out of your car or truck window when you are driving. Drunk or smoke inhaling plants and animals are NOT happy animals and plants.

  4. If you want to save the World do not stick your already chewed gum on other people's cars, the bottom of desks, pavement, etc. Do you know how many 100 dollar shoes are ruined a day because they step in your sticky mess? Also many numbers of animals can become stuck in chewed gum. And we need all the animals we can get.

  5. Go vegetarian! Not only do you lose a LOT of weight and begin to understand and appreciate a good salad you save over a thousand chickens, twenty-three lambs, eighteen pigs, and four cows (that's how much meat an average person consumes in their lifetime). Thinks of the lives you would be saving! Also as a bonus the more animals there are that means the more fertilizer there is for the plants.

  6. Put pebbles in your toilet. I don't know why you should do this and what it helps but I know it helps SOMETHING! So do it, even though it sounds really weird.

  7. Only flush once! That's right, only flush your toilet once a day. The average person uses the bathroom 8 to 9 times a day. That's 40 to 45 gallons of water wasted! Think of all the water you will be saving by putting up with the stink and only flushing at the end of the day. Yeah it's gross, but your saving water so that your great great great grandkids will have potty water.

  8. Ditch the car, motorcycle, moped, truck, bus, or whatever kind of vehicle you own (unless it's one of those new SUV's). Gas is NOT good for the air thus not good for the environment, plants, water, animals, people, etc. Walk whenever you can, ride your bike, or carpool. There's so many options out there. Pick one and stick with it while we save the WORLD together!

I hope my environment friendly list helps you. Maybe if we're in it together we can make a difference! Now wouldn't that be cool?

Sincerely,
