If you’ve been reading about how people are actively taking part in protecting the earth and haven’t joined in yet, you can go green this year and help make a difference. Like learning to walk, it just requires taking baby steps like paying attention to what you put in the trash every time you lift the trash can lid. Start by buying several plastic pails you can find at your local dollar store and mark them ‘plastic’, ‘glass’ and ‘aluminum’. This keeps your recyclables sorted and ready to go out on recycling day. Instead of buying any old brand of paper towels and plates, look for recycled brands that stay out of the landfill. When the warm weather hits your area, consider using simple rain barrels you can make yourself and ‘recycle’ the water collected from rain to water your garden. And when you no longer want or need that car, think about a car donation to a green charity who will recycle your vehicle donation and work for two worthy causes with one auto donation.
