Today is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. It is important today that a conversation is started on sustainability and what we as a nation could do to help. Doing things to help out are not difficult. Simple things like recycling, buying reusable products, and using more efficient products also can make a big difference. For example buying four 13 watt CFL bulbs would equal a regular 60 watt light bulb. Technically four rooms could be lit for the price of one. Another item using reusable shopping bags also help dramatically. By using those bags can cut the amount of plastic used in the environment. Along the same lines carry your own water in a reusable water bottle. This will cut the amount of plastic used, save water, and save you money. On average 60oz of water are used to make a 20oz bottled water bottle. This is horrible.
If we all work together we can save the world. The important thing to remember if we work for the common civic good we will all suceed.
