Green Tip Tuesday: Breaking Bad Habits
Being proactively green or environmentally conscious is great. We can all make the extra effort to buy green products like compact fluorescent lights, locally grown food products, or taking public transit, but what about breaking some everyday bad habits that we often don't give a second thought? Here are some common bad habits that we should all look to break:
- running the water while brushing your teeth or shaving
- buying copious amounts of bottled water instead of refilling with tap water or filtered water
- idling your car for minutes at a time
- leaving your computer and monitor on when they are not in use
- doing half loads of laundry when you could wait and do full loads
- unnecessarily printing out emails or reports when you're doing electronic presentations
- using and throwing out plastic utensils instead of washing metal utensils
- accepting plastic bags each time at the supermarket instead of simply reusing bags
- using paper or styrofoam coffee cups instead of a mug
