Tips for a Greener Earth

April 22nd is Earth Day. Walk, bike, or take public transit to work that day to help combat climate change!

Avoid trash as much as possible. When purchasing food, avoid places that use disposable utensils. Buy in bulk where possible, and buy products with minimal and recyclable packaging. Avoid buying cheap toys from vending machines. They'll break by the time you get back to your car, creating more needless waste. Buy ice cream in a cone instead of a throw away bowl, and when you go to your local coffee shop for your morning coffee to go, bring your own cup instead of using the throw away cups they provide you with. The majority of trash we throw away will take several lifetimes to break down, and some plastics and foams will take over a million years to break down. So, do your part. Every little bit helps to cut down trash.
