REexamine!

Ask yourself:

Do I need to turn on the light, or can I do what I need to without one?
Why am I throwing away this plastic fork, knife, spoon or napkin? Why can't I reuse it? Is it really THAT dirty?
Why can't I recycle (newspapers, magazines, junkmail, cardboard, tin, plastic, etc.)? Get an old bin and box and set up a recycling station in your garage!

Why do I take such a long shower when I could really be clean after 4 or 5 minutes?
Can I walk or bike to where I need to go, or take public transportation? (weather permitting)
Is it really that difficult to hold on to an empty soda bottle or wrapper until I reach a garbage can?
If my hands are wet, do I really need to use a paper towel or can I air dry them or use a washable cloth towel?
Insects are important too! Is it necessary to kill a bug just because we're bigger than it?
Does the water need to be running while I brush my teeth?



shut off and/or unplug your appliances, computers, etc. when you aren't using them, or put them on an energy saving mode. small things. everyday things. if you feel like the change is TOO small and won't make a difference, think about if everyone in the world made that same change. the ONLY way it starts is with a single person making a single change, so you ARE the spark. you DO make a significant impact.

don't litter, buy local and organically grown when possible, and let the yellow mellow!
